Four Training Modules
Therapy candidates must complete four training modules, each lasting 4 1/2 days. Supervision is required throughout the training. Trainees complete a total of 30-hours of clinical supervision to enhance their counseling skills. Once they’ve completed the training and clinical supervision, the candidate must submit an Application for Final Certification to IITAP for approval.
Constantly Upgrading their Skills as CSATs
Therapists who’ve been certified as sex addiction counselors are required to renew their certification every two years after their original certification date. We must participate in many Continuing Education (CE) hours over the next two year period.
