Kain Ellis (they/he) is a Queer Trans Non Binary Polyamorous human who adamantly resisted becoming a counselor for a long time. Their own experiences holding non-normative identities led them to finally accept the Universe's persistent pushing and finds them here as a way to support others navigating oppressive systems. Kain believes in healing within community, the resiliency of the nervous system, and that the way we experience the world is shaped by the identities we hold. Kain is a certified granola nature gay so you can often find them outside touching rocks and trying to befriend local lizards. Their ideal day is somewhere on a raft on a desert river. They currently have their LPCC and work in CO-REsponse through Axis Health.
