Sexual & Gender Identity Institute

Completed the s*xuality and s*x therapy intensive today. The needs are many. Please keep the people of Ukraine in your thoughts and prayers.

Today was Day 1 of a summer intensive. Grateful for the opportunity to offer a four-day intensive on s*xuality and s*xual counseling for the International Institute for Postgraduate Education in Kyiv, Ukraine. https://ircep.org/institution/international-institute-of-postgraduate-education/

This was the final session - a panel discussion on academic freedom. The annual IAPST symposium has concluded. It was a good setting for the exchange of ideas and an opportunity to build relationships across a diverse group of colleagues.

I came across this featured photo on Wheaton’s social media and thought it would be fun to repost. Loved these moments with graduating SGI members! Mia Menassa

Grateful for the opportunity to present on the concept of religious trauma at the International Symposium on S*x Therapy.

Enjoyed seeing a colleague of mine, Dr Michael Sytsma, recognized as a Fellow at the banquet last night. A well-deserved honor!

Arrived in Budapest for the IAPST International Conference.

Hard to believe we are more than halfway through this summer intensive.

Today is our doctoral psychology graduation ceremony. Just this past week we learned that at its meeting on April 15-18, 2026, the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) voted to grant our new Ph.D. program “accredited, on contingency” status with an initial date of accreditation of November 25, 2025.

I am so happy to celebrate with the Ph.D. students graduating, as well as the Psy.D. Students who are graduating (whose program has been accredited since 1998).
