Is Sexual Health Alliance Legit? The SHA Origin Story

Sexual Health Alliance was founded in 2015 by sex therapist, Heather McPherson. While obtaining her AASECT certification in sex therapy, she spent hours upon hours piecing together continuing education hours in the specific categories required by AASECT. She thought, there has to be an easier way to do this, right? Wouldn’t it be great if there was an organization that provided a comprehensive educational program? 

This was the beginning of Sexual Health Alliance’s comprehensive Sex Therapy certification program. Not only does SHA meet all of the educational requirements for AASECT certification, but the SHA Team will even assist in completing and submitting your AASECT application. This saves students A TON of time! The SHA Team matches each course section with the AASECT requirements, as well as students’ weekend training certificates, and SAR certificate.
