Our academy is designed for therapists and coaches working with adults (18+) of all genders, orientations, relationship statuses, life stages, and racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds, offering a unique and inclusive space to explore and understand the complex world of desire and intimacy. We understand the challenges of sustaining passion and excitement in intimate and sexual lives because we’ve helped thousands of clients and couples with a wide range of challenges reach their erotic goals. With 30 combined years of sex therapy and coaching experience, we recognized a significant gap in the sex-ed space, and we know that professionals are eager to feel more confident and have more agency in guiding their clients.
Our goal in creating these courses is to provide therapists and coaches with practical, science-based knowledge and innovative tools to support clients in expressing their desires and needs in all aspects of their sexual experiences and romantic relationships.
Are you a therapist or coach who has encountered issues related to sexuality and intimacy in your practice but feels unsure about how to address them? Our courses are designed specifically for professionals who work with individuals and couples, aiming to deepen their knowledge about sexuality and intimacy. We want you to become an erotically informed therapist or coach, ready to transform the way you approach sexuality and relationships in your practice.
We are a two-person professional team- Sari Cooper, CST CST-S LCSW-R and Kelly Ghweinem, CST LCSW.

At the heart of our academy is a commitment to providing a safe and respectful environment for learning and discussion. Our courses cover a wide range of topics, from navigating challenges in relationships to exploring the nuances of erotic lust, sexual wellness and pleasure.
Our platform hosts recorded webinars, offers CE courses and the SEE- IT Certification. These sessions are designed to engage participants in meaningful ways, while also ensuring privacy and comfort. Our goal is to provide clinicians and coaches with tools to increase the positive outcomes of their clients through expansion of their knowledge of sex therapy, sexuality, intimacy, and eroticism.
The Erotic Intimacy Academy is more than just an educational platform; it's a transformative experience aimed at therapists and coaches. Whether you're looking to bring more intentionality to your clients' relationships, navigate the complexities of dating, or simply expand your understanding of human connection, our courses offer invaluable insights.
We focus on equipping therapists and coaches with the knowledge and skills to help their clients foster healthier, more fulfilling, and pleasurable experiences in their personal lives.
The SEE-IT Certification is meticulously designed to fill the gaps in traditional therapy training, equipping you with the essential tools to effectively address and understand your clients' sexual and intimate needs. Many general individual and couples therapists may miss critical aspects because they don’t know what to ask; SEE IT ensures you have the expertise to "see" what others might overlook.
