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.
