Pharmacology and Psychosexual Therapy

This class provides IAPST credits which are eligible for credits toward Certification as a Sex Therapist.  See iapst.org/certification

See complete list of certificates available in the Accreditation tab

This 3-hour hybrid course is designed for psychotherapists, sex therapists, and mental health clinicians seeking to integrate foundational pharmacological knowledge into psychosexual therapy. Psychotropic medications, hormonal therapies, and sexual function-related prescriptions can have significant effects—positive and negative—on sexual health, intimacy, and relationships.

Understanding the pharmacodynamics, side effects, and psychosexual implications of commonly prescribed medications is essential to collaborative care and effective treatment planning. Participants will gain foundational knowledge in psychopharmacology relevant to sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain. The course emphasizes communication with prescribers, ethical and scope-of-practice considerations, and the role of trauma, gender identity, and medical comorbidities in medication response.
