Supervision
AASECT Alignment
The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) is the primary certifying body for Sex Therapists, Counselors, and Educators.
Liz is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapy Supervisor who engages emerging sexual health professionals in applying their current therapeutic and educational styles and skills to their sexual health practice.
Therapy Theoretical Frameworks & Interventions
While Liz comes from a dialectical behavior framework, she is well-versed in and practices several therapeutic interventions, such as Family Systems Theory, Polyvagal Theory, CBT, Treatment for OCSB, Written Exposure Therapy, Trauma-informed, and Mindsight, among others. Liz works with supervisees to understand their therapeutic frameworks and interventions on a deeper level and explore how they can be applied to their clients.
Liz believes in the autonomy of clients and providers, framing sexual health within the Six Principles of Sexual Health: consent, nonexploitation, honesty, shared values, prevention from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection and blood-borne pathogens, and pleasure.
Education Theoretical Framework
Liz embraces the Transformative Learning Process. As you progress through your career, you may notice that what used to work doesn't work for certain clients anymore. Liz takes supervisees through exploration of their current knowledge, how they've applied interventions and conceptualizations, and where skill enhancement may be indicated. By exploring together, Liz helps supervisees identify their own directions for growth and navigates how to get there together. By the end of supervision, supervisees report having a deeper understanding of their clients, interventions, and themselves as a sexual health professional.
