I offer workshops and continuing education events that are open to the public while grounded in clinically relevant topics. These presentations are designed to be accessible to the community while maintaining a level of depth and structure that is also meaningful for mental health professionals.
Continuing education offerings are currently being expanded.
Upcoming events are listed below, along with selected past events and recordings.
Upcoming Event
Join Danny Eller, LCSW, for Mental Health Matters at 79° West, a monthly 1-hour community conversation about practical, evidence-informed mental health topics.
This month’s topic, Why We Try to Control Everything: The Hidden Anxiety Behind Control, explores how control, perfectionism, overthinking, and rigidity often develop as attempts to manage fear and uncertainty. Participants will learn how the mind uses control to feel safe, and how greater flexibility can reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion.

Overthinking: The Mental Loop That Won’t Let You Rest
Held May 29th, 2026
This session explored how overthinking can become a cycle of mental rehearsal, self-doubt, and worry that keeps us feeling stuck rather than prepared. We examined why the mind becomes caught in repetitive thinking, how overthinking fuels anxiety and indecision, and practical ways to respond with greater clarity, flexibility, and confidence.
The High Cost of Perfectionism: Understanding Performance, Pressure, and Self-Worth
Held April 24th, 2026
This session explored how perfectionism, often seen as discipline or high standards, can carry a significant emotional cost.
We examined how performance pressure shapes self-worth, contributes to stress, and makes it difficult to feel “good enough,” even in the presence of success.
