Support your clients
holistically
with the expertise + partnership of a sexuality specialist
Why partner with a certified
sexuality educator + coach?
Sexuality is a lifelong part of the human experience. Yet, most of us were never given the information, support, or space to identify how to move through this part of our lives with confidence and joy.
In fact, in a survey of 1,500 Americans ages 18 to 44, 90% of respondents said that their sex education had not prepared them for real-world sexual experiences.
With a Sexuality Specialist in your corner,
You get to use your hour with clients to focus on the deep healing work, knowing that the nuts and bolts of sexuality exploration and sex education are happening in their sessions with The Dress Rehearsal.
Clients coming to you already know they want to work on sex, but that is rarely the only thing going on for them. Having a sexuality professional checking in on them with a laser focus on their sex-related concerns can keep things moving for clients in multiple areas of their lives (and make sure they aren't using the other issues to avoid working on their sexual concerns)!
Homework follow up can fall by the wayside. Their coaching sessions with The Dress Rehearsal offers tailored resources and homework, with dedicated time in session to problem-solve barriers. This improves follow-through on their part, leading to better therapeutic outcomes).

How is this different from therapy?
Great question! A lot of therapists absolutely support their clients in working toward their future goals, in addition to processing emotions and deep healing. Coaching can be the perfect complement to therapy. While you support your clients therapeutically, you can trust that their sex + intimacy coaching will be filled with trauma-informed + affirming education, goal-setting, and tangible, sustainable plans to reach their specific intimate goals.
Plus, An AASECT certification means you can trust that your clients are receiving sexuality education and coaching from The Dress Rehearsal that is up to date on the sexuality issues impacting your clients today, with a committment to continued education that supports them tomorrow. We love to learn!
A few more nuanced details:
Coaching is not a replacement for therapy (we aren’t mental health professionals!), but an awesome, subject-specific supplement. If self-discovery was a college course, coaching would be the lab! That is, a place to really get into the weeds of “how” to get to where you want to grow with a subject matter expert. Sexuality coaches provide tangible actions, offer creative thought partnership, and targeted work on sexuality goals and obstacles.
Coaches focus on the client’s present, their future goals, and collaborate on identifying tangible actions to get them there in sustainable, authentic ways. Coaches do not process emotions or trauma, but acknowledge them as important context.
