JOSH SPURLOCK ON FINDING A CHRISTIAN SEX THERAPIST

Welcome to My Counselor Online. I’m Josh Spurlock and today, Janelle is asking for a friend, “How do I go about finding a Christian sex therapist?”

For Starters, What Is a Christian Sex Therapist?

Great question. Sex therapists are different than marriage counselors or just general counselors. They have specialized training, specifically in troubleshooting sexual difficulties that individuals and couples have.

And so not just anybody that you would plug in with is going to have that training and experience.

Therefore, if you are having a difficulty in the sexual part of your relationship, you definitely want to work with a specialist and somebody that knows how to troubleshoot those issues and can help you reach your goals.

Furthermore, the go-to place for training and certification for Christian sex therapists is the Institute for Sexual Wholeness, which has a board called the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists that certifies professional counselors in sex therapy.

They hold high standards that are matching and exceed all secular organizations for certification in sex therapy.

And so when you’re working with an ABCST certified sex therapist, you know that you’re working with somebody that knows what they’re talking about, someone who has had supervised experience in working with tough cases around sexual difficulties.

Where You Can Find a Sex Therapist to Help You

You can find a certified sex therapist in your area through the Institute For Sexual Wholeness (ISW) website, where they have a directory of certified sex therapists.
