Congratulations to our Q1 Certified Members! Welcome to the family of AASECT Certified Professionals!
Sara Nasserzadeh, PhD DipPST, author of The Wheel of Context for Sexuality Education was created as a practical framework to ensure that educators, advocates, and researchers in the field of sexuality education maintain a holistic perspective on a selected number of key contextual factors that may influence, hinder or catalyze our work. The Wheel of Context may also help provide a greater appreciation for the communities we serve and ultimately lead to more desirable outcomes for our programs or projects.

LGBTQ Clients in Therapy: Clinical Issues and Treatment Strategies - All the answers clinicians need to work effectively with LGBTQ clients. A therapist who treats LGBTQ clients often must be more than “gay friendly.” Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender clients have specific needs that require their own knowledge base. This book offers up-to-date information for clinicians treating LGBTQ clients, including new chapters on transgender, sexually fluid, and gender nonconforming clients.
Stella Resnick, PhD, CST, first book,The Pleasure Zone: Why We Resist Good Feelings, published exactly 20 years ago is still going strong after all these years and now is about to be released in Russian. It has been published in Chinese, Hebrew, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and the UK and is still available as an ebook and an audiobook.
Jordan Rullo, PhD, CST, just left Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN to relocate to Salt Lake City, UT in order to be closer to family. He is transitioning to private practice for the first time and will be practicing out of the Utah Center for Evidence Based Treatment in Salt Lake City. He will be the first licensed psychologist who is also an AASECT certified sex therapist practicing in Utah.
