I have so many good things to say about the courses and the experience, but I think my favorite surprise has been the joy and clinical growth that has come from interacting with a much more diverse group of sex therapy professionals than I would normally get to experience. I love staffing cases in group supervision with psychotherapists practicing all over the country, and even internationally, who are different from me in almost every way. I also really appreciate getting to access this program through mostly online learning. To access a PhD program of a similar caliber and specialty I would have had to move my partner and our kids out of state... instead, I am excited to bring the educational opportunities provided by MSTI to my home community, and hopefully will have the honor of being the first ASSECT certified professional in my region. I am continually grateful for the opportunity.

I am LOVING the Clinical Sexology PhD program at Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. MSTI’s speakers are top-notch, and inclusive to people of all gender identities, sexualities, relationship structures, race and cultural backgrounds. Not only does it meet the requirement for AASECT Sex Therapist Certification, it also provides me with the knowledge and skills required to effectively provide sex and relationship therapy directly to my clients.

Before joining MSTI's program, I spent two years researching how to go about getting both my doctorate and my AASECT certification. When I realized I could do both, and for a cost which was within the reach of even a burgeoning therapist, I was deeply grateful. A few months in, and I'm even more so, as the quality, breadth, and depth of the seminars and workshops has been incredible. I already feel like a better clinician and, as I think should be the case with any mental health training program, a more self-aware practitioner. The team, from admin to supervisors and instructors, have been exceptional. What's more, as a disabled student, they have gone above and beyond to work with me to find accommodations that allow me to participate fully without having to compromise my educational process. I can't recommend this program enough.

From the moment I engaged with the Modern Sex Therapy Institute, it became evident that their commitment to enhancing the well-being and relationships of individuals and couples through sex therapy is unwavering. Their team of dedicated professionals exhibits unparalleled expertise, empathy, and a profound understanding of the complex and delicate nature of human sexuality. The institute's comprehensive approach to sexual health encompasses cutting-edge research, evidence-based therapeutic modalities, and a deep respect for diversity and inclusivity. I have been consistently impressed by their dedication to staying at the forefront of their field, continuously updating their knowledge to incorporate the latest advancements in sexual health research and therapy techniques.

I am honored to provide a heartfelt testimonial for my experience in the PHD program at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute. Pursuing both my certification and Ph.D. in sex therapy has been a transformative journey, and I can confidently say that this institute has played an indispensable role in shaping my professional and personal growth. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the institute's commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment. The faculty and staff are not only experts in their respective fields but also genuinely passionate about the subject matter. Their dedication to creating a safe space for open dialogue and exploration of sensitive topics was truly commendable.

My experience at the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes during my Ph.D. program was nothing short of transformative. The curriculum was meticulously designed and imparted relevant and up-to-date knowledge on various aspects of sexology. What struck me the most was the opportunity to learn from some of the most prominent names in clinical sexology. Furthermore, I found the flexibility of the program immensely beneficial.
Joshua Littleton
I knew that working towards a doctorate in clinical sexology would help my practice as a couples psychotherapist, but I was unsure of what to expect at Modern Sex Institutes. I've found a community of incredible people, and learned from some of the most charismatic, passionate instructors. The engaging dialogue and interventions are top of the market in an industry that's been grandly overlooked. I feel grateful to be a part of such an incredible collection of minds.
Michaela Johnson
I never envisioned myself getting a Ph.D. but the MSTI program fit all of my needs at the time and provided opportunities that other places couldn't. I am really grateful to have had access to the kinds of world-renowned instructors that I did, like Esther Perel and Emily Nagoski. I got my Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology in just over 2yrs and grew my network in the field tremendously. I walked away not only with a great education, and awesome mentors, but also really special colleagues I'm grateful to call my friends.
Taylor Nolan
During my exploration of PhD programs that involved in-depth training on sexology, I discovered Modern Sex Therapy Institute surpassed other programs I researched. As a current PhD student, I now realize I made the correct decision. The program is very transparent on their expectations. The program is designed to cater to those who are working and/or have families; but the commitment and time vested is a two-year commitment. Most of the educators are internationally recognized as some of the best in their field; and after each class I’ve gained knowledge that I’ve been able to incorporate immediately in my practice.
Andrea House
It was such a relief to find MSTI while navigating my journey to becoming a Certified Sex Therapist. MSTI offers groundbreaking classes with phenomenal teachers. The customer service is top notch and everyone is genuinely really nice, It's really cool to be in a space with like minded people who want you to succeed.
Shely Esses
I knew I wanted to get my AASECT certification but I felt utterly lost in the sea of requirements, as I juggled working and caring for my family. MSTI’s classes really work with my schedule and take the guesswork out of deciding which classes to take and when. The classes just appear on my account and in one weekend, I learn so much and complete my requirements. The material is highly relevant and presented by authors who have written widely in the field or have done academic research.

If you are looking for an amazing Doctoral Program in Sexology, look no further than Modern Sex Therapy Institutes (MSTI). The education is top notch with a who’s who of elite educators like Emily Dr. Nagoski, Dr. Lori Brotto, Dr. Laurie Mintz, Dr. Stanley E. Althof, Dr. Daniel Watter, Dr. Nicole Prause, to name a few. Pricing is affordable especially compared to many other doctoral programs I had research, easy online access only one weekend a month, in tune administrative staff, easy access to administrative staff and lastly an abundance of individual and group supervision. This program receives an A+ on every level, no kidding!
