About the Program

Clinical, supervisory, and educational components for sex therapy certification are typically offered onsite – but are currently online due to COVID-19. The curriculum is designed for post-graduate clinicians who want to expand their clinical repertoire in sexuality.

Our Sex Therapy training program consists of three courses that run consecutively, beginning with Sex Therapy I, 2-hour group supervision sessions (held bi-weekly or every third week), and two 7-hour SARS (Sexual Attitude Reassessment). Classes meet online via Zoom, and we offer two cohorts.

2024 Courses

Sex Therapy I: March 16-17 and April 13-14
SAR: April 20-21
Sex Therapy II: May 18-19 and June 8-9
Sex Therapy III: July 13-14 and August 10-11

This Program Offers:

  • Academics
  • SAR (Sexual Attitude and Reassessment Program)
  • Group Supervision
  • Individual Supervision

Program Design

CFR is an organizational provider for AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists). Our program provides major components required for AASECT Sex Therapist Certification. Additionally, it meets partial requirements for AAMFT (American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy) certification.

  • 90 hours of sex therapy courses (3 10-week online courses)
  • 10 hours of experiential SAR (Sexual Attitude Reassessment) workshop (10 CE Credits)
  • 25 hours of online group supervision (25 CE Credits)
  • Supervised clinical experience (your cases and/or CFR clients) towards the 300 clinical hours required by AASECT
  • Additional workshops in sexology related topics

This program meets AASECT requirements and credits earned may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of certification. Completion of this program does not ensure or guarantee AASECT certification. For further information about certification, please contact info@aasect.org.

“CFR was the only program offering everything I needed for certification: It had synchronized learning, meaning that the lessons were live over Zoom; A small group of eight students per cohort, allowing for a more intimate interaction with peers; Group supervision was also included, which a lot of the other programs did not have; Fully online, affordable, and met all of the AASECT-certification requirements.”
