Supervisor, Educator & Consultant

Hi, I’m Nick. I am the Director and owner of Modern Path. I am proud to lead and mentor the team of folks we have here and to provide a place where folks in our shared communities can achieve their wellness goals and live authentically and radically free.

I blend my lived, clinical, and administrative experiences as I guide the organization. I select external projects that are meaningful to me which I believe will sustain the organization and help us grow as individuals, a team, and a business.

My career has spanned 25 years in community behavioral health, administrative oversight, and private practice. Where I have been is not as important as where I am, here, a middle aged, neurodivergent, disabled trans man living an authentic and radically queer life. I have had the honor impacting more lives than I can count over the span of my career. At a micro level thousands and at a policy and systemic level hundreds of thousands, possibly even more. I bring all of this into all that I do, seeing the world uniquely, tracking patterns of behavior, and interpreting and applying things in ways only a thrice gifted mind can.

I take great pride in supervising other queer and neurodivergent clinicians, providing them an opportunity to develop personally and professionally while living authentically and practicing ethically. I also provide brave learning spaces for folks who are not queer or trans to learn, question their own biases, and develop the skills necessary to support their work related to the traumas of neurodivergence, gender, and sexuality.

My current focus is providing supervision, consultation, and education for clinicians and practice owners. I also facilitate experiences for individuals across the nation who desire to expand their capacity for embodied pleasure. Whether the work is professional or personal my priority is to center those who live and love outside of the labels and constructs placed on us by the social narratives of individualism, capitalism and systemic oppression.

In my personal life, I am and always will be a parent, a Leatherman, and an anarchistic punk. I am blessed with amazing partners who hold me in love and compassion. I have a grown child who is also in healthcare and makes Dad proud every day. For fun I remember that there is a teenage boy inside of me who never had the chance to grow up. I tinker in my garage learning new skills, bask in the sunshine of mowing the lawn, maintain a medicinal garden, roller skate, collect more rocks than my pockets can hold on hikes, read, and more. I facilitate body stress rituals and study the history of body modification to ensure my work is appreciative of other cultures and collaborate with those who will allow my presence in their rituals.

Fees

I use an equity based rate structure that promotes your access and my personal sustainability. Redistribution fees are consistent with cisgender peers and colleagues who have similar training and experience as my own who work outside of the queer community. Fees represent individual (50 min) and group ( 110 min) rates.

Redistribution: $255 to $300
Full Fee: $250
Sustain: $200 to $245
Solidarity: $150 to $195 (reserved for other trans therapists)
Pre-licensed: $150
Reparations: Reserved for 3 Black queer individuals in short or long term supervision agreements.
