Sexual health is an extremely underrepresented field within the world of mental healthcare. Participants in this course will follow the treatment process - from intake to termination - while learning at least two new assessment strategies, multiple intervention methods, best practices for ethical dilemmas, provider biases and how to ethically work with/through them, and engagement strategies for communicating as an affirming provider of sexual health.
Engaging in sexual health conversations with clients immerses me into the inner workings of their vivid world. I use this therapeutic intimacy to guide treatment interventions, empower my clients to lead pleasurable value-congruent lives, and enhance perspectives of the self and others. Sexual health is mental health - it is all interconnected, lively, and diverse.

Participants of this course will take away direct dialogue pertaining to 1) affirming consent, 2) provider and client boundary setting, 3) strategies to work with the DSM-5 diagnoses, and 4) multicultural considerations to invite in the room.
