Overview

The Integrative Sex Therapy Institute (ISTI) provides comprehensive study programs for the professional psychotherapy community through its industry recognized courses in sex therapy, couples counseling and the pioneering ground breaking courses in integrative therapy. Students can now earn their Certified Sex and Couples Therapist (CSCT) designation at the same time they are earning their AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST). This is achieved through both live in-person classes and eLearn modules.

Sex therapists and couples therapists now have access to practical and theoretical coursework to assist them in integrating couples therapy with sex therapy. Additionally, all practitioners throughout the mental health community will have a single program that provides the necessary fundamental training to properly prepare them - and help expand their practices - to address current and future client needs associated with the evolving field of relationship therapy.

ISTI offers individual classes and complete sessions that continually meet the challenging and changing social trends through specially designed programs developed by Dr. Tammy Nelson, an internationally recognized expert, author, lecturer and thought leader. Attending these courses allows practitioners from all backgrounds to discover their own best selves while under the guidance of some of the most respected names in the industry.
