On-demand professional training
Certificate in Sex Therapy – On-Demand
This is our original 150-hour Certificate in Sex Therapy developed as part of the 1,000 Therapist Project. The Certificate in Sex Therapy – On-Demand is a rigorous, systematic training program designed for mental health professionals seeking comprehensive education in psychosexual therapy.
Rather than simply introducing concepts, the curriculum provides a structured progression through the major domains of sex therapy, helping participants build a strong theoretical foundation while developing clinically applicable skills that can be integrated directly into practice.
The program fulfills the educational requirements for certification in sex therapy through the International Association of Psychosexual Therapists (IAPST).
A Structured Learning Experience
The program has been intentionally organized to provide a logical progression through the curriculum.
- 150 hours of professional training
- Professionally recorded, on-demand lectures
- Supplemental readings and educational resources
- Assignments to reinforce learning and clinical application
- Self-paced access allowing participants to study around their professional schedules
Although participants may access all course materials upon enrollment, we strongly recommend completing each module sequentially, as every section builds upon concepts introduced in previous modules.
Clinically Applicable Training
This program was designed with practicing clinicians in mind. Throughout the curriculum, participants move beyond theory by learning practical assessment strategies, treatment planning, intervention techniques, and evidence-informed approaches that can be incorporated into clinical practice.
The emphasis is on developing competency, confidence, and clinical decision-making skills applicable to real-world psychosexual therapy.
You're Never Learning Alone
Although the curriculum is delivered on demand, participants are never expected to navigate the program in isolation.
Twice each month, Dr. Caleb Jacobson hosts a live Open Classroom exclusively for students enrolled in the on-demand program.
Open Classroom
Twice per month · 12:00 PM–2:00 PM (EST)
These live sessions provide opportunities to:
- Ask questions about course material
- Receive individualized guidance
- Discuss assignments and clinical cases
- Connect with fellow participants
- Stay accountable and maintain progress through the program
Participants are encouraged to attend as often as they find helpful. The Open Classroom is designed to provide the mentorship, support, and community that many professionals value while completing independent study.
Certification Pathway
Successful completion of the Certificate in Sex Therapy – On-Demand satisfies the educational requirements for certification through the International Association of Psychosexual Therapists (IAPST).
This allows graduates to move directly into the remaining certification requirements, including supervised clinical experience and examination, as outlined by IAPST certification standards.

- Rigorous and systematic training
- Flexible, self-paced learning
- Strong faculty support through twice-monthly Open Classrooms
- A direct pathway toward IAPST certification
This is a comprehensive professional training program—not simply a collection of recorded lectures.
