Why get IACSAS certified? There are a lot of reasons and plenty of benefits.

Also, the synergy of a group of professionals will help advance sexual addiction treatment as a specialization and provide opportunities for research and theory.
And those certified by IACSAS will be listed in a national registry allowing potential clients and other professionals to identify those working in the field who specialize in treatment of sexual addiction from a clinical and Christian perspective.
What does certification look like? There are two types of certification possible through IACSAS. A clinical certification for professional Christian counselors and a pastoral certification for leaders of churches, parachurch organizations, and ministries involved in treating sexual addiction and co-addiction.
