I have my certification as a Board Certified Sexologist. My practice focuses on sexual abuse and sexual addiction as well as sexual health and what healthy sexual behavior looks like once a client is in recovery.
In addition to being a psychotherapist I am also a trained clinical sexologist and provide individuals and couples ways to achieve healthy sexuality for themselves and for their relationships.
Those certified by The American Board of Sexology are known as Diplomates.
ABS is dedicated to taking certification out of the area of subjectivity to a process based on academic achievement, dedication to the discipline as evidenced by scholarship, evidence of competence under supervision and the empirical results of examination. Most Diplomates are clinicians-those practicing in therapy and counseling.
What is Sex Therapy?
Sex Therapy is the application of professional and ethical skills to deal with the problems of sexual function of people. It assumes recognition of the concept that sexuality is of legitimate concern to professionals and that it is the right of individuals to expect expert knowledge when seeking remedies with sexual concerns. Sex Therapists and Clinical Sexologists focus their specialized skills to help individuals and/or couples to deal with their sexual concerns.
