About Elizabeth’s Specialized Education + Training

Elizabeth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and credentialed through the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists and trained through the Institute for Sexual Wholeness — a rigorous, faith-integrated training pathway for clinicians committed to bringing both clinical excellence and Christian conviction into their practice. Her work sits at the intersection of sexual health, identity development, and whole-person care.

Elizabeth has completed advanced training in gender and sexuality under Dr. Mark Yarhouse — one of the foremost researchers and clinicians in the country on gender identity, sexual identity therapy, and the integration of faith and psychological care. This training grounds Elizabeth's assessment and consultation work in the frameworks Dr. Yarhouse has spent decades developing, refining, and teaching to a select group of practitioners. Elizabeth’s Advanced Gender Identity Assessment + Consultation training was completed through the Sexual + Gender Identity Institute under Dr. Mark Yarhouse and Dr. Julia Sadusky.

Elizabeth is the only provider in Texas with this specific advanced training in gender and sexuality — making The Reclaimed Collective a singular clinical resource for families, colleagues, and faith communities across the state.

Her credentialing through the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists reflects a commitment to a standard of care that holds clinical competence and Christian ethics together — not as competing values, but as a unified foundation for practice. The Institute for Sexual Wholeness training is not simply a certificate course. It is a formative clinical pathway that shapes how Elizabeth approaches every client, every assessment, and every consultation she conducts.

Elizabeth is also committed to ongoing collegial consultation as a structural part of how she works. Competent care in a specialized and complex clinical area is never a solo endeavor. She remains accountable to a community of practice, current in her engagement with research and evidence-based frameworks, and committed to the kind of professional humility that serves clients — and the colleagues who refer them — well.

Elizabeth's investment in advanced training is not incidental to the work — it is the work. Families who come to The Reclaimed Collective are often navigating some of the most consequential questions of their child's life. They deserve a clinician who has done the preparation to serve them well, who remains accountable to a community of practice, and who brings both the credentials and the character to hold that responsibility with integrity.
