What Is Sex Therapy?
Sexuality is a part of being human that goes beyond reproduction - it is how we experience intimacy, pleasure, and connection.
Why Should I Take This Program?
Because your clients are already bringing sexuality into the therapy room - even when they don't say so directly.
Instead of referring out, you can
- Recognize sexual concerns that might otherwise be overlooked in treatment.
- Become more comfortable initiating conversations about sexuality with clients.
- Understand the biological, psychological, relational, and social factors that influence sexual functioning.
- Assess sexual concerns and develop appropriate treatment plans.
- Distinguish concerns that can be addressed within psychotherapy from those requiring medical evaluation or interdisciplinary collaboration.
- Expand the range of individuals and couples you are prepared to treat.
- Develop a valuable area of specialization within your clinical practice.
Sexuality is part of the whole person. When therapists are prepared to talk about it, assess it, and treat it, they are better prepared to treat the whole client.
