Workshop Description
How many of us took a Human Sexuality Course in graduate school? Not too many I bet. Yet we are expected to treat the whole person. How do we do this when so many of us are unprepared or uncomfortable talking about sex. In this course attendees will be introduced to methods of self examination and how their world view about sex shows up in their work. Attendees will learn what it means to be a sex positive therapist and determine how they may want to expand their professional identity when it comes to the topic of sex within their practice. Attendees will be provided a sexual health assessment and key indicators to help determine when a referral to a Certified Sex Educator, Counselor, or Therapist would be appropriate.
This workshop is designed for Master’s and PhD level clinicians who are exploring the role sex plays in their work, those training to become Sex Therapist, Sex Counselors, or Sex Educators, and other spiritual, behavioral, medical, and sexual health and wellness professionals.

Hi, I’m Nick. I am a trans masculine genderqueer Professional Counselor, Sex, Therapist and Supervisor and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge with you! I am a seasoned and talented therapist but my true joy in life is mentoring, supervising, and sharing what I have learned across my career.
Sex? WOW, who wants to talk about that?!?! ME! Not only do I want to talk about it, I enjoy talking about it, call it a special topic of interest if you will. What makes my workshops a little different is that I come at things through a very queer lens and give you, the learner, permission to explore your boundaries and break free of the messages they teach us as therapists. I invite you to learn and live free.
