The Pilowa Institute Training Portal

Welcome to the Pilowa Institute Online Training Portal, offering CEU-approved trainings by Emily Pilowa, LICSW designed to strengthen your clinical insight and therapeutic skill.

Sex is one of the most imperative topics for clients in clinical work, yet most clinicians have no formal training in how to navigate topics of sex and intimacy. This lack of knowledge, paired with clinicians' own histories of shame and trauma, can result in a perfect storm of silence. These trainings address that gap.

Through evidence-based theory, sex-positive education, and applied clinical practice, you'll learn to acknowledge and reduce your own shame, become a curious and informed facilitator of great conversations about sex, and expand your capacity to support clients around intimacy, consent, and relational health across diverse relationship structures—including monogamous, polyamorous, queer, heterosexual, trans, and same-gender relationships.

Each module includes a curriculum video, a comprehension assessment, and an automatically generated CEU certificate upon successful completion.

Featured Training:

  • Sex & Intimacy for Clinicians 101 — A three-part foundational series covering arousal and desire, orgasms and masturbation, and sexual health history and meaning-making. 9 CEU credits total.

Choose Your Learning Format:

  • Live Interactive Cohort — Join scheduled group sessions with Emily Pilowa for real-time instruction, peer discussion, and interactive Q&A. Engage with fellow clinicians, ask questions as they arise, and benefit from collaborative learning and immediate expert feedback.

  • On-Demand Self-Paced — Access recorded sessions at your convenience and progress independently through the material. Complete the curriculum, assessment, and earn your CEU certificate on your own schedule.

Both formats cover the same comprehensive content and award the same CEU credits upon successful completion.
