Self Study
Tonya L O'Neal
$39.99

Sexual and Gender Diversity Training for Sex Therapy is a three-hour professional learning experience designed for clinicians, counselors, and educators seeking to strengthen their competence and confidence in working with clients who are sexually and gender diverse. This course explores the intersections of identity, sexuality, culture, and spirituality within clinical and educational settings, emphasizing the ethical and therapeutic importance of understanding your clients needs, wants and values. Participants will engage in interactive discussions, case applications, and guided reflections to deepen their understanding of gender identity, sexual orientation, and the systemic factors that shape clients' lived experiences.

Grounded in principles of cultural humility, intersectionality, and trauma-informed care, this training empowers sex therapy professionals to recognize and challenge bias, and create safe environments. By the end of the course, participants will gain actionable strategies to integrate affirming frameworks into assessment, treatment planning, and clinical dialogue, thereby enhancing therapeutic outcomes and holistic client well-being.
