Presentations
During my career, I have presented numerous talks and facilitated clinical conversations, which can be adapted for a variety of events, including trainings for clinicians, education for the general public, and more. These presentations can be modified to fit each event; from a 30 minute talk, to a 90 minute keynote, to a weekend retreat, depending on your organization's needs. My fee, length of talk, and other details can be discussed by phone at 512-419-0600 or by email at jluteslpc@me.com. I am also the founder of the Contemporary Relationships Conference - the annual event on LGBTQ dating, relationships, & family.
