AASECT supervision is a required component of becoming a Certified Sex Therapist (CST). It is the clinical relationship where your competency as a sex therapist is developed, challenged, and demonstrated. You cannot count hours toward your AASECT certification without a signed supervision contract with an AASECT Certified Supervisor. Beyond the credential requirement, good supervision is where you do the real work - understanding your own reactions, building clinical confidence, and learning to sit with sexuality without flinching.

AASECT requires a minimum of 50 hours of supervision for Sex Therapist Certification, with at least 25 of those hours being individual one-on-one supervision and a minimum of 20 hours completed with your primary supervisor. You must also be in supervision for at least 18 months. Alongside supervision, you will need to complete 300 hours of clinical work with clients presenting sexual concerns while under your supervision contract.

Yes. AASECT supervision can be completed online, and I work with clinicians across the country virtually. Online supervision is just as effective as in-person - and gives you access to a supervisor whose approach and values align with yours, regardless of where you are located.

My supervision style is experiential, structured, and exploratory. We will use role play, body awareness exercises, and psychoeducation to help you develop confidence working with sexual concerns in session. A big focus of our work together will be your own blocks and discomfort - because what gets activated in you as a clinician will shape what is possible for your client. Expect to be challenged in a space that is warm, shame-free, and sex-positive.

Yes - supervised clinical hours require that you are actively working with clients presenting sexual concerns while under your supervision contract. If you are not yet seeing clients with these presentations, we can talk through how to build that caseload as part of our work together.

Contact me to schedule a consultation. We will talk about where you are in the AASECT certification process, what you are looking for in supervision, and whether we are a good fit. From there we will set up a supervision contract and get started.
