We just opened!|We're excited you're here!|What will you learn about first?|

Learning opportunities to creatively support unique clients!

Are you feeling lost or stuck when it comes to supporting your alternative, norm-rejecting, and unique clients? Their counterculture references, eccentric interests, personal style, self-expression, hobbies, and processing needs often leave you struggling to fully connect and understand them. You may have difficulty finding training that provides the right type of knowledge.

Some of your clients may be queer, trans, or autistic. Although you’re an ally or perhaps newly figuring those identities out for yourself, you crave insight from mentors with lived experience and clinical knowledge. You’re ready to deepen your understanding and transform your work.
You’re at the right place! Start learning now.

Your clients are different.

Cryptids are creatures that spark folklore, tales, and legends. They are mysterious, different, and often are seeking peace. They strive to meet their needs; their stories involve the public misunderstanding them. You may have heard of Nessie (of Loch Ness), Bigfoot (Sasquatch), Mothman, or even the elusive Jackalope.

Like Cryptids, your clients are misunderstood. They are often overlooked and underestimated. They get blamed and ostracized. Many speculate about them but few truly know them. These clients are individuals who don’t fit the mold - and they don’t really want to!

At Curious Cryptid Learning, you’ve found a home for growth, vulnerability, and wisdom.
Soon, you’ll be understanding your clients on an entirely new level. You’ll feel recharged and ready to offer new techniques and perspectives!

This learning platform is different.

Unique Content

It’s rare to find all of these topics in one place! You’ll be able to adapt your learning to what your clients are needing. 


  • Play Therapy? Check! 
  • Sex Therapy? Check! 
  • Special interests? Check! 
  • Queer, trans, and autistic culture? Check! 

You’re able to access on-demand niche courses at a whim so you can go at your own pace. With all of these topics right here, you will also learn how interwoven they can be and how to flow with them in session.


Empathic Design

Having been in a similar place of not understanding certain communities, identities, and neurotypes, Curious Cryptid Learning courses are designed to take into account that you may not be part of the community or share the same interests as your clients.
Advanced and Intermediate courses will be clearly labeled.

Should-Free

You’re allowed to ask your questions here, even if you’re worried that you “should be beyond that” or “should already know it.”
Curiosity is embraced! Leave a comment on a course or reach out for consultation and feel fully supported.

Warmth

With a love for learning and sharing knowledge, each training is crafted with warmth that’s hard to miss! “Infodumping” is a way to show love - and you’re about to feel wrapped around with support, care, and all of the information you could ever want!

Bonus Content

The learning doesn’t stop at the webinar- you will often receive handouts, worksheets, and additional resources to continue your learning beyond this site and our courses! The knowledge is relevant and actionable.

Plus as guests are available, you will be hearing from others with lived experience regarding the training topics.

Flexible Offerings

In addition to courses being primarily self-paced, Curious Cryptid Learning is open to feedback on what its userbase needs. Seeking more consistent support? Needing a specific topic covered? Feeling like it's time to go deeper with a live offering? Let us know!
