Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Nick Marzo. I use he / him / none pronouns.
Nick Marzo, MS, LPC, LMHC, CST, CPCS, NCC, CCMHC (he/him/none), is a white, transmasculine, genderqueer professional counselor and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with 20+ years experience. Nick blends his unique lived and clinical experience to provide in-depth information and passionate humanity to the course.
The Gender Diverse Individuals Miniseries was created out of the need to express, from both clinical and lived experience, the crucial aspects of working with gender diverse individuals. I hope this course achieves the goal for clinicians to be aware and to move toward having an affirming and accessible space for gender minority clients.
