New Certificate Program Launching Spring 2017

(SAN FRANCISCO---)  The Sex Therapy and Education certificate is the only sex therapy preparation program offered in San Francisco and is among the few offered on the West Coast. Nationally, it is among a limited number of sex therapy preparation programs offered by an accredited university.

The program offers the opportunity to complete the coursework leading toward sex therapy certification with the instruction of faculty from the Human Sexuality doctoral program at CIIS, certified sex educators, sex therapists, and clinical sexologists who are leaders in their respective professions and scholarly activities. The program features an anti-oppression framework and honors multicultural voice and advocacy, with an emphasis on diversity, inclusion and social justice.

Following completion of this program, students are eligible to complete the 300 hours of supervised sex therapy with a certified supervisor of their choice, allowing for application to The American Association of Sex Counselors, Educators and Therapists (AASECT) for sex therapy certification.

Sign up for updates at www.CIIS.edu/SexTherapy if you would like to be notified about information sessions, when applications open, and other details with this new certificate.
