Who these courses serve

Built for therapists who work with real clients

These courses were designed for licensed mental health professionals who are already seeing clients — and who want immediately applicable clinical tools, not academic theory they have to translate themselves.

I developed every course from patterns I’ve observed across 20+ years in practice. The frameworks are ones I use with my own clients. The language is therapist-to-therapist, not textbook-to-student.

LMFTs & LPCsSeeking AASECT-approved CEs for license renewal or sex therapy specialization.
LCSWs & Mental Health CounselorsExpanding practice scope to include sexual concerns and intimacy issues.
Couples TherapistsWho regularly encounter desire discrepancy, betrayal, and sexual avoidance but want more targeted clinical tools.
Any Licensed ClinicianWhose clients bring sexual concerns and who wants to respond with confidence and competence.

Dr. Marisol G. Westberg

— your instructor

Hi, I’m Dr. Westberg.

I never planned to become a sex therapist. My path started with a question I couldn’t let go of: why do people create meaning through sex in ways that have nothing to do with the sex itself? That question led me to spend over two decades working with couples on the full range of sexual and relational issues.

What I found in clinical practice is that standard therapeutic approaches kept missing something. They focused on techniques and behaviors but never touched the emotional roots — the childhood wounds, attachment injuries, and relationship patterns that actually shape our sexual selves.

This course distills what I’ve learned working with couples like you. The desire gap you’re experiencing isn’t a mystery — it has a structure, it has causes, and it has a path through. I built this to give you that path.

Common questions

Questions about the courses

+ Are these courses approved for LMFT license renewal?

All courses are AASECT approved, and the 12-CE Masterclass carries NBCC approval as well. Whether AASECT credits count toward your specific license renewal depends on your state licensing board. Most states that accept NBCC-approved hours will accept the Masterclass. For AASECT-only courses, check with your state board — many accept AASECT credits for LMFTs and LPCs. I'm happy to answer specific questions about your situation.

+ How are these different from free CE resources?
+ Do I need to have a sex therapy background to take these?
+ How do I access the courses after purchasing?
+ Is there a refund policy?
