Treatment Program for Adolescents with Problematic Sexual Behavior

Treatment Program for Adolescents with Problematic Sexual Behavior is available to help youth ages 13-18 who have engaged in illegal sexual behavior. Through weekly 60-90 minute group sessions, the program aims to prevent youth from re-engaging in problematic sexual behavior, increase prosocial behavior, and enhance caregiver/parenting skills. Two groups, one for youth and the other for the caregiver, will run concurrently each week with the groups meeting at the end of each session. Caregiver participation in the program is required and is fundamental for the success of the youth. Caregivers will learn about setting rules, parental supervision, improving communication, and more.

Program services include: 

  • In person group counseling for youth and caregivers 
  • Sexual health education & consent 
  • Principals of sexual health behavior 
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy 
  • Restitution and apologies 
  • Telehealth available, by request
