Compass Academy Live Online: Sex Therapy 101

This course is the first of our Sex Therapy Essentials Series for Clinicians.

Join Kristin, our AASECT-approved provider and educator, as she guides clinicians on a transformative journey into one of the most underdeveloped—and most essential—areas of clinical training: sex and sexuality.

Whether you work with individuals, couples, or clients across the lifespan, conversations about sex inevitably arise. This training is designed to help clinicians move beyond discomfort or avoidance and toward confidence, competence, and clarity. Participants will develop the skills to thoughtfully assess, discuss, and address sexual concerns in a way that is ethical, inclusive, and clinically grounded—supporting clients in one of the most intimate areas of their lives.

If sex shows up in your therapy room (and it does), you don’t have to feel unprepared. This experience empowers clinicians to meet these conversations with confidence and care.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Identify common barriers clinicians experience when discussing sexual wellbeing with clients

Describe key sexual response models and their application to clinical work

Differentiate between spontaneous and responsive desire and assess for desire discrepancy

Utilize permission-based language to normalize sexual health concerns within therapeutic scope

Screen for common pelvic pain disorders and basic hormonal influences on sexual functioning

Apply the PLISSIT Model, BETTER Model, and Five-Domain Intake during sexual health assessments

Recognize when referral or interdisciplinary collaboration is clinically indicated
