Grandfathering Candidates Have Until March 14, 2009 to Apply
SOTB meeting
Sex offender therapists who are not currently licensed as mental health professionals have until March 14, 2009 to apply for certification as certified clinical sex offender therapists under a time-limited grandfathering provision.

Therapists who hold active mental health licensure may apply for either clinical- or associate-level certification.

Applications for grandfathering, clinical and associate certification have been revised to more clearly state requirements for qualifying and can be found below and on the "How to Gain Certification" page on the left navigation menu.

Applicants can also review answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the "How to Gain Certification" to assist them in applying for certification.

The Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) oversees regulation of sex offender therapists and other health and related professions. To access OHLA's home page, go to "Department" at the top of the left navigation menu and click on "Oregon Health Licensing Agency."
