February 26 – March 1, 2026
Location: Riviera Maya, Q.R., Mexico
Sexuality is an essential part of human well-being, yet many therapists feel unprepared to address it. This training brings essential sex therapy concepts into the hands of all therapists—whether you work with individuals, couples, or families. Explore topics like pleasure across the lifespan, fantasy, dysfunction, consent, sexualities, and gender affirmation. Through guided self-reflection and group discussions, you’ll deepen your awareness of your own sexual story and how it shapes your work with clients.
Learn practical, evidence-based tools to integrate sex therapy into your practice. This training goes beyond theory, offering active learning exercises, case studies, and hands-on techniques for addressing common sexual concerns. You’ll gain strategies to navigate discussions around intimacy, desire, and dysfunction while building confidence in your ability to help clients explore their sexual health.
Walk away with new skills, strategies, and a clearer sense of your scope. Clinicians will have opportunities to bring in real-world cases, ask tough questions, and refine their approach to sexuality in therapy. Whether you’re looking to expand your competence in sex therapy or simply want to better support your clients in discussions around sex and relationships, this intensive provides the knowledge and tools you need.
Presenter Bio:
Dr. Kate Morrissey Stahl is an AASECT-certified sex therapist and supervisor who specializes in mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral interventions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and trauma sensitive yoga. With couple work, she brings in a Gottman perspective, as well as Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She is a clinical associate professor at the University of Georgia School of Social Work.
She has master’s degrees in both communication and social work, certificates in marriage and family therapy and gerontology, is clinically licensed as a social worker, and is an AASECT certified sex therapist and an E-RYT 500 registered yoga teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance. She has a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Sciences, for which I received doctoral-level supervision as a couple and family therapist. In her sex therapy work, she has specialized in supporting individuals and couples with desire issues, and around sexual function, recovery from sexual trauma, exploring sexual orientation, and supporting authentic gender expression. She is queer- and poly-affirming and work from an anti-racist framework.
Kate loves gathering communities to comb through ideas we have learned about sex and pleasure that have empowered us, as well as those ideas that we want to let go of and support our clients in letting go of. Many of us care about supporting healthy sexuality and yet receive very little training about it—this is a chance to remediate that and to promote deep reflection with the support of a beautiful location.
