Supervision and Workshops

Working on my Sex Therapist certification through AASECT, the American Association of Sex Educators Counselors and Therapists.
And I've been attending these wonderful workshops with Patti Britton, PhD through ISH, or the Institute of Sexual Health in Beverly Hills. Though the institute focuses on sexual addictions my training is in the broader field of sexology, as Patti's speciatly.

As sexologists and sex therapists, addictions are just one of the many things represented in the hats we wear. Sex addiction is the therapy du jour right now, very popular made by the folks such as Tiger Woods and David Duchovny, LA Times yesterday told us what a thriving industry sex addiction treatment is. Yes, maybe true. I want to point out that not all sex therapists are sex addiction specialists and vice verse. And though most sex therapists are well schooled in 12 step and addiction treatment, addiction models tend to be more pathology oriented.
My work here at Los Angeles Sex Therapy is solution focused and goal oriented.
