• Identifying healthy relationship patterns

Sexual Wellness & Intimacy

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 15+ years of directly relevant professional experience in relationships, sexuality education, LGBTQ+ support, or related specialties.
• Recognized professional licenses, certifications, advanced qualifications, or equivalent demonstrated expertise.
• Extensive experience supporting adults through relationship, intimacy, or identity transitions.
• Demonstrated experience using inclusive, evidence-informed approaches.

Relevant Professional Credentials

LMFT, LCSW, LPC, LPCC, licensed clinical psychologist (PhD/PsyD), AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator, AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, ICF ACC/PCC/MCC with documented relationship-coaching expertise, or equivalent professional qualifications.

Experts specializing in coming out or LGBTQ+ identity transitions must demonstrate substantial LGBTQ+ affirmative professional experience.

Qualifications must be directly relevant to the selected specialty. General relationship-coaching credentials alone do not establish qualification to provide specialized sexuality education.

• Deliver focused, private virtual Sessions lasting up to 60 minutes.
• Provide evidence-informed relationship education and practical resources.
• Help clients understand relationship dynamics and navigate life transitions.
• Develop focused Session offerings within your specialization.
• Create actionable takeaways such as communication frameworks, conversation-planning tools, and educational resource guides.
• Maintain appropriate confidentiality and professional boundaries.
• Refer clients to licensed professionals when clinical treatment is needed.

Why Become a Sam Expert?

• Work remotely with flexible scheduling.
• Set your own Session rates and availability within platform guidelines.
• Showcase your expertise through your Sam Expert profile.
• Access integrated booking, scheduling, and payment tools.
• Connect with women navigating meaningful relationship and identity transitions.
• Opportunities to participate in Expert-led Events and Webinars.

Independent Contractor Terms

This is an independent-contractor opportunity, not traditional employment. U.S.-based Experts participate under 1099 arrangements.

Experts set their own Session rates within platform guidelines and are compensated for completed client bookings. Bookings and earnings are not guaranteed. Full marketplace terms are provided during the selection process.

Sam provides educational guidance, coaching, and practical resources—not psychotherapy, clinical sex therapy, mental health diagnosis, or treatment.
