Clinical Supervision
Become a
sex therapist.
AASECT supervision for clinicians building toward certification — and the supervisors who train them next.
Individual Supervision
Sex therapist supervisees are required to collect 50 hours of supervision to apply for AASECT certification. I meet with supervisees in person, by phone, or over video — most often for an hour, occasionally for 90 minutes.
Together, we go beyond technical skill. We work on:
- 01Assessing strengths and growth edges, both at the start and as they shift.
- 02Developing a clinical voice that's synchronous with who you are — personally and professionally — today.
- 03Illuminating and working through the emotional reactions that surface during sex therapy work.
- 04Building or strengthening the systemic framework needed for couples and family work.
- 05Navigating the AASECT certification process, if that's a path you choose.

Online Group Supervision
Held exclusively over Zoom. I don't run a cohort model — meaning you'll be exposed to a wide variety of cases from therapists practicing with diverse populations around the world.
Groups are limited, so spots fill up — sign up in advance. AASECT requires 30 minutes per group member, so meeting length varies with registration. I give as much advance notice as possible so scheduling stays easy.
Therapists are encouraged to bring a topic of discussion to group meetings, but coming prepared with a specific case is not required! We will interact with the cases of our peers alongside general themes of the work, the business of sex therapy, and self-of-therapist exploration and inquiry. Group supervision can account for up to half — or 25 — of the required 50 hours for sex therapy certification.
Supervision to become a sex therapy supervisor.
Two years after certification and active practice as a sex therapist or counselor, you're eligible to begin training to become a supervisor yourself. The path requires 30 hours of supervision-of-supervision (group accounting for no more than half) and active supervision of at least two supervisees.
In our first meeting I walk prospective supervisors through the requirements, how they differ from general certification, and where to begin finding supervisees. Through our time together we'll:
- 01Develop a thorough understanding of the supervisor role — versus therapist or mentor — including boundary setting, expectations, and education.
- 02Co-facilitate group supervision of prospective sex therapy applicants, with a critical eye to group process and creative ways of structuring the hour around members' goals.
- 03Develop your unique supervisor voice — aligned with your philosophy and synchronous with who you are today.
- 04Look at best practice for setting supervisees up for success: the supervision handbook, AASECT ethics, current certification requirements, and the changes happening inside the organization.
