Therapists will be prepared to show up as more compassionate\, survivor-oriented\, actionable resources for sexual assault survivors and their partners and loved ones. While sex after sexual assault is often swept under the rug or ignored\, we all benefit from talking about it more openly.

They studied Narrative Medicine at Columbia University and completed the Memoir Incubator at Grub Street in Boston\, MA\, and the Human Sexuality Intensive at the Kinsey Institute. \nTheir first nonfiction book\, Tell Me What You Like: An Honest Discussion of Sex and Intimacy After Sexual Assault\, about the sex lives of sexual assault survivors\, came out in 2025 to a positive reception from Oprah Daily\, The Cut\, Playboy\, Vogue\, Dan Savage\, NPR\, Amanda Knox\, the Queer Love Project\, and more. \nThey are seeking a new literary agent who specializes in nonfiction and live in Texas with their dog\, Babka. \n  \nCo-host: Laura Levitt\, LCSW\, is a trauma therapist based in Brooklyn\, NY.

SUMMARY:Talking about Sex in Psychotherapy: Why it Matters\, How and When to do it
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 11th\, 2025\n7:00–9:00 PM EST\nVIRTUAL ON ZOOM\n$80 General Admission\n$60 ICP Community\n$45 ICP Therapist\n$25 ICP Candidates and Graduate/Undergraduate Students \n > > Register\nTalking about Sex in Psychotherapy:\nWhy it Matters\, How and When to Do It\nwith Kathryn S.K. Hall\, Ph.D\n\n\nThis event is approved for\n2 NYS CE Credits \nSex is a central part of the human experience\, yet it remains one of the most elusive topics in psychotherapy. This workshop explores why talking about sex is not just important\, but often essential to deep\, effective therapeutic work. When approached thoughtfully\, discussions about sexuality can strengthen the therapeutic alliance\, reinforce boundaries\, and invite access to core aspects of a patient’s inner world\, including identity\, intimacy\, shame\, desire\, and relational dynamics. \nWe will examine how conversations about sex can help move therapy forward when patients are stuck\, evasive\, or when deeper psychological material is trying to emerge. The workshop will also offer practical guidance on how to initiate and navigate these conversations—whether during an initial evaluation or as part of ongoing psychotherapy. \nThrough detailed clinical case discussions and open dialogue\, participants will learn to recognize opportunities to bring sexuality into the room in ways that are clinically meaningful and ethically sound. Questions\, discussion\, and reflection on participants’ own clinical experiences will be welcomed throughout the presentation. \nAbout the Presenter:  \nKathryn S.K. Hall\, Ph.D.\, is a licensed psychologist with over four decades of experience in sex therapy and research. She earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from McGill University in Montreal\, Canada\, and has since become a leading voice in the field of sex therapy. \nDr. Hall has lectured and written extensively on topics related to sexual health\, psychotherapy\, and the cultural influences on sexual well-being. Her latest book\, Talking About Sex in Psychotherapy\, is set for release by the American Psychological Association Press in November 2025. She also maintains an active private practice specializing in the treatment of sexual concerns and sits on the Special Classification Review Board\, a panel of experts appointed by the Governor of New Jersey responsible for overseeing treatment progress and determining parole readiness for incarcerated sex offenders. \nShe is passionate about mentorship\, and she provides training in sex therapy for both emerging and experienced clinicians. Dr. Hall also serves as the Book Review Editor for the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy and is a Past President of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research. \n\nICP Community includes current ICP faculty\, supervisors\, and alumni of ICP’s training programs.

SUMMARY:Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality\nAn Interactive Workshop on Sex\, Psychedelics\, and The Power of Pleasure\n\nwith DeeDee Goldpaugh\, LCSW\nThursday\, October 9\, 2025 from 7:00PM-9:00PM on Zoom\n2 NYS CE and AASECT Credits! \n\nAfter several decades of clinical research into their therapeutic potential\, psychedelic medicines in clinical contexts stand to shift the paradigm of how we have approached the treatment of depression\, anxiety\, trauma\, and other mental health issues. However research into the impact of psychedelics on sexuality is just beginning. In this interactive presentation\, clinician and author Dee Dee Goldpaugh will outline the emerging research on psychedelics and sexuality\, but go far beyond that to ask questions about how prohibiting pleasure has molded our current drug laws\, why pleasure is omitted from the narrative about psychedelic healing\, and how psychedelics can help us to embrace our erotic power for optimal sexual experiences and sexual self-actualization.  \nBased on their new book\, Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality\, Dee Dee will provide practical education on psychedelic preparation and integration in sex therapy practice\, explore how different psychedelic medicines impact sexual satisfaction and pleasure\, and offer a new framework for working with sexual trauma. Grounded in research\, this presentation will also strive to critique the neo-liberal and capitalist structures that exist in our society and in psychedelic science that prevent us from embracing pleasure\, creating community\, and engaging in meaningful erotic connection while centering on the uplifting message that pleasure (and psychedelics medicines) have the power to heal us.  \nAbout the Presenter: \nDee Dee Goldpaugh\, LCSW is a psychotherapist\, consultant\, educator\, and author. They are the Clinical Director of Chrysalis Integrative Psychotherapy\, the Women\, Gender Diversity\, and Sexual Minorities Advisor for The Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines\, and they are part of the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy team at the Woodstock Therapy Center. Dee Dee has authored the first paper to appear in an academic journal describing Psychedelic Integration Psychotherapy techniques that incorporate spirituality for sexual trauma survivors. They also served as a Clinical Supervisor for the EMBARK approach to Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy in addition to having facilitated numerous Ketamine-Assisted Transformational retreats. Dee Dee has been a frequent presenter at international conferences including the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research\, Psychedelic Culture\, Psychedelic Science. They have over seventeen years of professional clinical experience and training in diverse modalities including EMDR\, Internal Family System\, Sex Therapy\, psychodynamic\, and transpersonal therapy models and are the author of the book Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality.

DESCRIPTION:Kink and Healing\nwith Shveta Mittal\, PhD\nThursday\, June 26\, 2025 from 7:00PM-9:00PM on Zoom\n2 NYS CE and AASECT Credits! \n\nEmerging research demonstrates that BDSM/kink can assist individuals in healing from past trauma.

A brief introduction to the BDSM/Kink Community will be presented\, followed by a review of research and clinical accounts that support personal growth and healing from BDSM/Kink engagements. The risks and benefits of trauma-informed kink play for psychosomatic healing will also be reviewed and discussed. \nOver the course of this workshop\, attendees will learn common myths about BDSM Practitioners\, learn least 3 ways BDSM/Kink can facilitate personal growth and healing from trauma\, and be taught to identify potential risks to using BDSM/kink activities for psychological and somatic healing. \n\nAbout the Presenter: \n\n\n\nDr. Shveta Mittal is a licensed therapist\, certified psychedelic practitioner\, and leather lifestylist with more than a decade of experience helping clients develop a better understanding of themselves while facilitating improved coping\, insight and personal growth.

SUMMARY:Navigating Asexuality in Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Workshop:\nNavigating Asexuality in Clinical Practice\n\nwith Dr. Morag A. Yule\, C. Psych\n  \nWednesday\, January 31\, 2024; 7:00pm-9:00pm on Zoom\nThis event will be approved for 2 NYS and 2 AASECT CE credits \nAsexuality is characterized by a persistent lack of sexual attraction\, and asexuality is often an intrinsic part of an individual’s identity. Asexual people\, often referred to as “aces\,” may have romantic feelings and the spectrum of asexuality includes various identities and differing levels of interest in sexual activity. \nThis presentation delves into the understanding and incorporation of asexual identities in clinical practice\, aiming to enhance practitioners’ competency in addressing the unique needs of asexual individuals and their partners. It begins by defining asexuality\, challenging common misconceptions\, and highlighting the diversity within the asexual community. The talk emphasizes the importance of differentiating asexuality from other conditions\, such as hypoactive sexual desire disorder\, and the implications for misdiagnosis and treatment. \nCase studies and interactive discussions will facilitate a deeper understanding of how to support asexual individuals through informed\, empathetic\, and tailored care. By the end of this session\, participants will be equipped with practical tools and insights to navigate asexuality in their clinical work. \nAbout the presenter: \nDr. Morag Yule received her PhD in clinical psychology from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and completed her clinical residency at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. She is the founder and director of Ontario Sex Therapy\, a private practice in Toronto. Dr. Yule has been involved in sex research since 2005 and been providing psychotherapy and assessments for sexual difficulties since 2010. \nShe has published and presented widely in sexuality and was awarded multiple academic honours and awards throughout her graduate training. Dr. Yule is especially recognized for her ground-breaking studies of asexuality and its assessment. \nDr. Yule provides psychological services for a broad range of sexual issues. She has extensive training and experience treating sexual dysfunction\, including problems with sexual desire\, difficulty experiencing sexual arousal and orgasm\, and sexual pain. She also works with those exploring sexual identity\, struggling with hypersexuality/out of control sexual behavior\, navigating atypical/unique sexual interests\, and moving past difficult sexual experiences and sexual trauma. In addition to her specialization in treating sexual difficulties\, has a particular focus on treating OCD with sexuality-related themes such as pedophilia OCD (POCD) and sexual orientation OCD (SO-OCD). She works with both individuals and couples and people of all genders and sexual orientations. \nDr. Yule is President of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research (SSTAR). She is also a full member of SSTAR\, the International Academy of Sex Research (IASR) and the Canadian Sex Research Forum (CSRF) as well as the Ontario Psychological Association (OPA) and the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO). \n__________________________________________________ \nSignup for the STP Mailing List by Clicking Here\nWant to learn more about our Certificate in Sex Therapy?

DESCRIPTION:Summer Sexuality Series:\nThe Incredible Lightness of Becoming Erotic in Later Life:\nLessons from Octogenarians\n\n \nwith Suzanne Iasenza\, PhD\nWednesdays\, June 7\, 14\, 21 & 28\, 2023; 1:45-3:15pm EST on Zoom\n6 AASECT + 6 NYS CE credits available. \nNOTE: This is a 4-part series\, registration is closed. \nU.S. Culture contains a plethora of desexualizing narratives about aging.

SUMMARY:Summer Sexuality Series: Identifying & Working with Body Narratives in Sex Therapy with Suzanne Iasenza\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Summer Sexuality Series:\nBody Talk: Identifying and Working with Body Narratives in Sex Therapy\nwith Suzanne Iasenza\, PhD\nWednesdays\, June 1\, 8\, 15\, 22\, 2022; 1:45-3:15pm EST on Zoom\n6 Continuing Education Credits Available\n\nThe Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Mental Health Practitioners as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychoanalysts\, licensed social workers\, licensed mental health counselors\, licensed marriage and family therapists\, and licensed psychologists.\n\nThese programs meet the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators\, Counselors and Therapists(AASECT) and are approved for CE credits. These CE credits may be applied toward AASECT Certification and renewal of certification.\n\nPsychotherapists are learning to appreciate the notion that “the body keeps the score” as esteemed trauma specialist Bessel van der Kolk contends.

Case material will include examples of racializing\, objectifying\, and vilifying cultural body narratives that impact sexual development.\n\nAbout the Presenter:\n\nSuzanne Iasenza is a practicing psychologist who specializes in and writes on topics such as human sexuality\, sex therapy for individuals and couples\, sexual orientation and gender identity.
