Problematic Sexual Behavior Program
Clinical Assessment Group are experts in the assessment and treatment of individuals struggling with problematic sexual behaviors (PSB) and compulsive or out-of-control sexual behaviors. We recognize that clients come from diverse backgrounds and require tailored approaches to their treatment.
Youth + Their Caregivers
For youth with PSB, our programs differentiate between cases with and without identified victims, ensuring the unique needs of each situation are addressed. This program typically includes assessment and a combination of individual and family therapy, community support, and resource development. Each client will receive a treatment plan that best supports their success.

Compulsive Sexual Behaviors (CSB)
Commonly referred to as sex or porn addiction, adults struggling with compulsive or out-of-control sexual behavior often face significant distress, and our approach focuses on reducing this distress while fostering healthier behaviors. Unlike traditional therapies that often focus on suppressing or eliminating unwanted thoughts and urges, Acceptance + Commitment Therapy (ACT), is one of the only evidence-informed therapy models demonstrating success is working with compulsive sexual behaviors. Along with other proven therapeutic modalities, ACT emphasizes a different path. It acknowledges that thoughts and urges exist and that trying to control them can sometimes be counterproductive. Instead of fighting inner battles, ACT guides individuals towards:
Acceptance: Acknowledging and accepting unwanted thoughts and urges without judgment or attempts to control them. This doesn’t mean condoning harmful behavior; it’s about observing these thoughts without getting caught up in a struggle against them.
Mindfulness: Cultivating present-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Through mindfulness practices, individuals learn to observe their internal experiences without getting swept away by them. This increased self-awareness allows for more conscious and intentional choices.
Values Clarification: Identifying and clarifying personal values that guide a meaningful and fulfilling life. What truly matters to this individual? What kind of person do they want to be? These values become the compass guiding their choices and actions.
Committed Action: Taking consistent steps towards living a life aligned with their values. This might involve setting realistic goals, building healthy relationships, and engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment.
These services standardly include comprehensive assessment, use of psychometrics when clinically indicated, individual, family/relationship + group therapy. Support in this program can also include comprehensive community support services when available.
