1:30 PM - 4:30 PM EST

Description: Gender in 2025 continues to evolve in complex and dynamic ways. As cultural and political divides deepen, so too do the expressions and expectations surrounding gender roles and identities. This workshop explores those extremes—how they manifest in today’s society, and how they emerge in our therapy offices.

Learning Objectives

Objective 1: Identify emerging gender expressions and roles within cultural and political contexts.
Objective 2: Describe how online subcultures (tradwives, incels, manosphere, femcels) influence identity.
Objective 3: Analyze polarization’s impact on mental health, relationships, and identity formation.
Objective 4: Apply culturally responsive, ethically grounded interventions in therapy.

Presenter

 

Carol L Clark, PhD, LMHC, CAP, CST

International Institute of Clinical Sexology


Dr. Carol Clark is board-certified in sex therapy, transgender care, and addictions and is the president, founder, and senior instructor for the International Institute of Clinical Sexology and the Therapist Certification Association. Sexuality is integral to people’s lives and yet most therapists are not adequately trained in treating sexual disorders and concerns. She created several certification programs and a doctoral degree in Clinical Sexology to fully prepare healthcare providers to work competently and expertly in this field. 

Through her private practice, Dr. Clark’s work has helped individuals from a multitude of backgrounds to find better lives. She employs a variety of interventions to effectively assist those seeking personal growth and an improved sense of well-being in their lives and brings this into her teaching.
