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.

“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.”
