Are you ready to be a great sexuality therapist?

What does it mean to be a sex therapist? What happens in the therapy room of a sex therapist, and how does it differ from other forms of therapy? In this training, we explore some of the nuances and tools that sex therapists bring into the room. Students will learn about some common models for sex therapy, and how to apply systemic frameworks to the practice of sex therapy. Students will leave with concrete skills that they can apply to their own practice, whether they are new to sex therapy or veterans of the field.

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize how culture impacts and at times defines sexual functioning.
