The Cost of Expertise: Why I Built an AI for Sexual Wellness
As a licensed therapist and certified sex therapist, I have spent years building my expertise in the field of mental health and sexual wellness. My journey has taken me through extensive education, specialized training, and thousands of hours of clinical work. And let me tell you—it wasn’t cheap.
How Much Does Expertise Cost?
Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Virginia: $165,052
Master’s Degree from Johns Hopkins University: $99,900
Advanced Certification in Sex Therapy from the University of Michigan: $6,500
Supervision Costs: $7,000
TOTAL: $278,452
That is how much my brain costs. Simply imagine the interest on those student loans.
Who Can Afford Therapy?
My rate for a 50-minute session is $225. I know that for many people, accessing specialized therapy at this rate—especially for an extended period—is simply not feasible. This is why I have dedicated my career to breaking barriers in sexual wellness and making expert guidance more accessible.
AI is NOT Therapy—But It’s a Powerful Tool
I want to be clear: AI is not therapy. It will never replace the human connection, emotional intelligence, and empathy that a licensed therapist provides. It cannot read facial expressions, interpret tone, or deeply understand an individual’s unique history.
But AI can be an incredible tool.
Instead of $225 per 50 minutes for individuals only in Virginia and Florida, anyone with internet access can now get the same expert-driven, structured information for just $13 a month through Sex Therapy Pro AI.
This platform is designed to:
Provide accurate, professional, and expert-backed sexual wellness guidance
Break down the stigma and barriers that prevent people from seeking sex therapy
Offer a starting point for those intimidated by therapy to become comfortable before seeing a professional
Support clinicians and educators in training and research
Licensed Clinicians Must Lead the AI Revolution
One of the biggest concerns about AI in mental health is the spread of misinformation. Most AI tools pull generalized answers from the internet, which can be misleading or even harmful when it comes to sex therapy and mental health.
That is why I believe licensed and trained clinicians must take the lead in developing custom AI tools. AI should not be left to tech developers alone—it should be shaped by professionals who understand the complexities of human sexuality, relationships, and mental health.
An Educational Resource for Therapists
Sex therapy is an advanced certification that is not taught in standard graduate programs. Much of the knowledge is scattered across the internet, hidden behind paywalls, and difficult to access. There is also an overwhelming amount of misinformation.
By creating Sex Therapy Pro AI, I am building an authoritative, structured, and accessible resource not only for individuals but also for therapists who want to learn. My goal is to make expert knowledge affordable and available to everyone.
Embracing AI as a Tool—Not a Threat
I know that many therapists fear AI. They worry it will replace the profession or devalue human expertise. But here’s the reality: AI is not going away. Instead of fighting it, we need to shape it.
AI is not a replacement for therapy. It is a tool—a way to break barriers, increase accessibility, and help more people than ever before. My mission with Sex Therapy Pro is to ensure that AI is used ethically, responsibly, and in a way that truly benefits individuals and the field of sex therapy.
