Our program views sexual offense conduct as a symptom of broader issues, and with that in mind, we provide a holistic, strength-based treatment program consistent with the best practices set forth by the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (ATSA). The treatment program uses group-based clinical interventions within a cognitive-behavioral framework to address the dynamic (i.e., changeable) risk factors that led an individual to engage in sexual offense conduct. At the same time, participants are taught skills to improve their quality of life, develop a sense of purpose, and establish healthy alternative behaviors in order to navigate life without harming others. The Risk-Need-Responsivity model is also used to guide the intensity of treatment, determine the most salient risk factors in need of intervention, and to tailor the treatment approach to the participants individual learning and interpersonal style,which is in accordance with best practices and empirically-supported treatment of individuals who engaged in sexual offense conduct.

Ideal candidates are conscientious, organized, intellectually curious, excellent team players, maintain strong boundaries, adept at clinical case conceptualization, and possess excellent clinical writing skills. Candidates who thrive in a fast-paced environment with challenging clinical cases are especially well-suited for this position.
