Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sexuality counselor?

Sexuality counselors assist the patient to realistically resolve concerns through the introduction of problem solving techniques of communication as well as providing accurate information and relevant suggestions of specific exercises and techniques in sexual expression. Sexuality counseling is generally short term and client centered, focusing on the immediate concern or problem. Sexuality counseling can be individual or couple counseling. Sexuality counselors are trained to identify situations that require intensive therapy and to make appropriate referrals to a licensed sex therapist when needed.

What is AASECT? And, what is needed for AASECT certification? 

AASECT is the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. AASECT certification requirements include that you are licensed, take a workshop called a SAR (Sexual Attitude Reassessment), have 300 hours of clinical work over a minimum of 18 months, and 50 hours of supervision for sex therapists. Sexuality counselors have similar requirements but less hours of clinical work and supervision. To assist you in better understanding AASECT certification, we have recorded a FREE webinar about AASECT certification, which can be viewed by clicking here. Please go to the AASECT site for details or contact us for more information.
