About the Program

The Sex Therapy Certificate Program is for Master’s or Doctoral level clinicians already trained in a mental health profession, who are eligible for licensure or already licensed. The program is cost effective, practical, and convenient—classes are offered in a blend of online and in-person on weekends. Offering the necessary requirements for AASECT certification, this certificate program trains clinicians to be qualified and skilled sex therapists and utilizes valuable resources, such as highly-trained faculty, a time-tested curriculum, ample space, and eLearning capabilities. Medical providers, clergy, and other individuals trained in counseling may also be eligible for the program if they aim to seek certification by AASECT as a sex counselor.
