If you seeking professional services, please note that ISSI does not license or offer certification of competence to any person listed on the Referral Page. Rather, ISSI allows professionals to list themselves and to indicate compliance with the Sexual Identity Therapy. Information included in this referral list is provided by the clinicians themselves, and ISSI does not seek to verify and does not warrant the accuracy of the information provided by the members.
Persons who use this directory for help in seeking a mental health professional are urged to be wise consumers and inquire directly about a particular clinician’s qualifications. Factors which may be important to ask about include the clinician’s (1) education and training, (2) licensing or certification, (3) professional experience, (4) area(s) of specialization, and (5) fees and eligibility for insurance payments. Any legitimate professional will be happy to answer questions about such matters.
