The AASAT Training Program Certification Process
Our American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy (AASAT) Certifications allow you to prove you have completed the necessary steps to be able to understand and treat addictions like sex addiction and intimacy anorexia. Our certification process enables you to demonstrate your expertise in the related AASAT training field.
The certification process is made up of completing the assigned course work, passing the related certification exam to demonstrate your depth of knowledge, and putting the concepts into practice during a supervision period. Gaining your certification is an important step in expanding your counseling and treatment practices.
Once you are certified through AASAT, you can register to be listed in our Therapist Directory.
