The CPS Sexual Health Interest Group comprises clinicians who have specialized and advanced training in sexuality, sexual orientation, sexual functioning, and gender identity. The team supports students’ physical, emotional, and social well-being and agency in making decisions about their sexual health.
Navigating a relationship with sex and sexuality can be complicated. The CPS Sexual Health Interest Group is here to offer short-term consultation and/or psychotherapy that focuses on the mental, emotional, and relational facets of sexuality, sexual health and/or gender identity. This team appreciates the uniqueness of our students’ identities, experiences, and backgrounds, and will meet individual needs with respect and compassion.
