This three-hour course, Expanding Psychosexual Therapy Practice to Marginalized Communities, begins by grounding participants in a shared framework for understanding marginalization within psychosexual and sex therapy contexts. The first hour introduces core concepts, including structural, institutional, and interpersonal dimensions of marginalization (macro, mezzo, and micro levels). Using race, disability, and socioeconomic status as primary lenses, participants will examine how systemic inequities shape sexual health access, therapeutic engagement, diagnostic frameworks, and relational norms. Interactive components, including word cloud reflection, breakout discussions, and applied case examples, will help clinicians identify how marginalization manifests in their clinical settings and supervision spaces.

The second and third hours shift toward reflective and applied practice. Participants will engage in structured positionality work to examine their own power, privilege, biases, and potential blind spots across race, disability, socioeconomic status, gender, and sexual orientation. The course will then focus on adapting assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning to address structural barriers and culturally specific relational norms. Through applied exercises and collaborative discussion, clinicians will develop a concrete, practice-specific action plan to increase accessibility and cultural responsiveness within their own psychosexual therapy practices. The course concludes with integration, commitment-to-action reflections, and next steps for sustained accountability.
