About CEO Casey Tanner Casey Tanner, AASECT-certified sex therapist and creator of @queersextherapy (195k+ followers), is a global thought leader in the field of gender and sexuality. Casey consults for brands, businesses, and universities around the world, her expertise appearing in Oprah, Health, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Health and InStyle. When her initial pursuit of a career in evangelical ministry was disrupted by a mental health crisis, Casey was forced to reckon with the harmful impact of purity culture and systemic homophobia on her sense of self. After coming out as queer at a college that expressly forbid “homosexual behavior”, Casey made it her mission to disrupt barriers to authenticity by pursuing her masters in counseling with a specialization in sexual and gender diversity, and ultimately received her Sexual Health Certificate from University of Michigan. Casey is the founder and CEO of The Expansive Group. As producer and co-host of Safeword Podcast, Casey is a trusted advisor to audiences seeking to undo their sex miseducation, cultivate authenticity, and expand their relational imaginations.
