Our Core Services
Adult Sex Offense–Specific Program:
Forensic Mind Solutions, LLC provides individualized, evidence-based treatment for adult male and female identifying clients who have been court-ordered to participate in sex offense-specific treatment as a condition of supervision, reentry, or CYS expectations. Services are delivered in accordance with the Pennsylvania Sexual Offenders Assessment Board (SOAB) Treatment and Management Standards and follow the Containment Model as endorsed by the SOAB. Treatment is guided by the Self-Regulation Model, Relapse Prevention Model, and Risk Needs-Responsivity (RNR) Model, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Good Lives Model (GLM) principles throughout all interventions. These models emphasize skill development in impulse control, cognitive restructuring, trauma processing, arousal management, and emotional regulation to promote accountability and reduce recidivism. Each client begins with a comprehensive intake assessment that includes clinical interviews and relevant risk assessments, and the development of an individualized treatment plan. Therapeutic polygraph examinations are incorporated as deemed clinically necessary to ensure full disclosure, support treatment integrity, and enhance accountability.
Program Goals and Focus:
1. Victim Empathy Development: Clients work to understand the full emotional, psychological, and social impact of their offending behavior on direct and indirect victims.
2. Accountability and Disclosure: Participants must accept full responsibility for all aspects of their offending behavior and demonstrate honesty through complete disclosure.
3. Relapse Prevention and Wellness Planning: Each participant develops a personalized relapse prevention and wellness plan that identifies risk factors, coping strategies, and pro-social supports to mitigate future risk of re-offending.
Youth Support- Juvenile Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) Program:
Forensic Mind Solutions, LLC (FMS) offers a comprehensive Juvenile Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) Treatment Program designed for youth ages 12–18 who have engaged in sexually abusive or problematic sexual behaviors. The program promotes accountability, empathy, and healthy development while reducing risk of recidivism and enhancing family reintegration. Treatment is delivered in accordance with Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA) Practice Guidelines for Adolescents (2017) and Pennsylvania Sexual Offenders Assessment Board (SOAB) standards, ensuring that services are evidence based, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate. The program follows a structured 9-month (36-week) curriculum, combining psychoeducation, group therapy, and individualized intervention. Services are provided through a blend of individual, group, and family sessions to enhance generalization of skills and caregiver engagement.
Groups are open-ended and run for 90 minutes weekly, with participants progressing into a relapse prevention phase as clinically appropriate. Each session integrates psychoeducation with process-based reflection and skill development. Youth are expected to demonstrate accountability for their behaviors, increased insight, and development of self-regulation skills throughout treatment. Confidentiality, group norms, and expectations are reviewed whenever new participants join. Youth are encouraged to recognize that they are not alone in their experiences of guilt and shame, normalizing treatment engagement, and reinforcing peer accountability.
All participants complete an initial clinical intake and risk assessment, including instruments such as the J-SOAP-II, HARE-YV, and ACEs Questionnaire. Treatment plans are individualized, and progress is tracked through attendance, participation, and observed behavioral changes.
