Dr. John Beiter is a native resident of Pittsburgh. He graduated from three of the local universities; Robert Morris University, University of Pittsburgh, and most recently Duquesne University with his doctorate in clinical psychology. He is educated and experienced in both the business and clinical environments with over 30 years of service. He is licensed as a Professional Counselor [LPC] in the state of Pennsylvania and is certified as an Employee Assistance Professional [CEAP] and Substance Abuse Professional [SAP]. Dr. Beiter was certified by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists [AASECT] as a sex therapist in November 2008, at the same time he was inspired to create and develop the Beiter Sexuality Preference Indicator BSPI© and later the Beiter Sexuality Intimacy Index BSII©.
Dr. Beiter received a post-graduate student scholarship from AASECT in 2008 for the advancement of human sexuality education. He remains passionate about his human sexuality studies and most recently completed the IPI [International Psychoanalytic Institute] Certificate Program in Sex & Sexuality. Part of what fuels Dr. Beiter’s intense interest in healthy sexuality is the discoveries he made from his clinical practice in how difficult it remains for couples – both young and old – to communicate sexually.
Dr. Beiter’s clinical background includes positions as an Outpatient Therapist in Drug & Alcohol and Child Abuse & Neglect agencies, Employee Assistance Program Counselor for a major medical center, and as a CEAP clinical supervisor for Licensed Professional Counselors & Licensed Clinical Social Workers.
