Are you having trouble talking about sex with your clients?

Do you want to learn how to approach sex in counseling?

Join relationship and sex expert, Tanisha Sapp, LPC, NCC, AASECT, and learn how to feel confident and open with sexual discussions, providing a thorough sexual assessment, and utilizing psychosexual strategies and techniques to resolve sexual problems.
