The Top 5%
Do you know what separates therapists like Esther Perel from typical relationally trained psychotherapists?
She is comprehensively trained to include intimacy and sexual health.
Only 5% of therapists and healthcare professionals are comprehensively trained in human sexuality– even though ALL humans are bio-psycho-social-sexual-spiritual in how they are wired and experience life and relationships.
Research shows clients and patients PREFER practitioners who are TRAINED in all these areas – especially today as life is more complex and we live in a ‘sexually out’ culture. Naïve and biased therapists and medical providers frustrate their patients and cause them to seek care elsewhere.
Is there a way to develop a thriving clinical practice that includes sexual health, treating sexual concerns, and serving the sexually marginalized?
Are you wondering...
Is there a cost-effective and time-efficient way to obtain this training without spending time and money I don’t have?
Can I apply this training toward AASECT certification?
Can I get AASECT supervision that ALSO applies toward state licensure, and by someone who is AAMFT Approved?
Is there someone who will provide guidance toward AASECT certification and mentorship as I launch my career and figure out my niche?
YES, YES, and YES!!!
The Top 5% is a 12 to 18 month program assisting you in applying for AASECT Certification as a Sex Therapist (for psychotherapists) or Sex Counselor (for medical providers or clergy).
In the first nine months, The Top 5% will set you up most of the way through the AASECT educational requirements to become certified. Your supervisor will sit with you and help you assess what you have already completed combining your behavioral health or medical degree, with what you will study with NWIOI. There may be some additional courses that you need to take, we will do our best utilizing our robust course catalog to get you FREE NWIOI courses to cover the gaps.
In the remaining months you will be individually guided through your mentoring hours on how to add the remaining educational requirements to suit your individual needs and how to apply for certification. We do not require you to study and pay for material you have already studied in a previous graduate or post-graduate program.
NWIOI is an AASECT CEU provider, and we do not grant AASECT Certification.
Completion of this program does not ensure or guarantee AASECT certification. For further information please contact info@assect.org For more information on AASECT Certification please visit:
What sets The Top 5% apart from all the other programs?
-
People who have trained with NWIOI for the past nine years have gone on to have full practices within six months of completion. Many of those have cash practices, some of them charging $250/hr. Many are now running clinics with several therapists working for them. They are in high demand!
-
We are proud to be an AASECT CE provider that creates a succinct program (Advanced Clinical Sexology course, plus supervision, and business mentoring) and does NOT make you pay for training you already received in graduate school that can be applied toward your AASECT certification.
-
We want our training to be accessible, and ideally would like to see ALL CLINICIANS receive this training. Because of this, we heavily discount our trainings (35-65%) for those who choose to do Supervision with us. We ALSO offer a further FIELD GROWTH SCHOLARSHIP to anyone who is from a marginalized community not well represented in the sexual health therapy or education community who has financial need. All they need to do is click the link below for approval (prior to completing the Top 5% Application): FIELD GROWTH SCHOLARSHIP
