About Us

Sexual Wholeness is led by Christian therapists and sex therapists, Doug Rosenau, Ed.D., Michael Sytsma, Ph.D. and Debra Taylor, MA. Our goal is to encourage others to join us in seeking and promoting Biblical intimacy and sexual wholeness. The heart of our organization is the training that is offered to the professional counselor and lay person.
