​Throughout the training, cultural responsiveness is emphasized. You will be encouraged to consider how intersecting identities such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and disability influence sexual experiences and therapeutic needs. Affirming and inclusive practice is a core value of our approach, with attention to how systemic oppression and cultural stigma shape access to pleasure, safety, and sexual agency.
