Sar Surmick

Teaching Professor

CFT and Sex Therapy Certificate Program

  • Master’s in counseling psychology with a systems focus from Saybrook University.
  • BS in Secondary English Education from Bowling Green State University.

I teach in much the same way I work with clients, from a place of authenticity. I'm interested in what my students bring to the classroom, what they want to learn the most, and what they need to get out of the course. I believe every course should be tailored to people in the room and that curriculum is written for the student's benefit.
