Treatment Services
Outpatient Psychotherapy and Behavior Therapy
New England Forensic Associates offers comprehensive treatment programs that includes individual, couples, and group counseling.
Starting with a comprehensive intake evaluation, each person's treatment is tailored to fit their own individual needs. At the beginning of treatment, a client's spouse, partner, or parent may also interviewed. Relevant history is taken, family needs are assessed, and the partner or parent is informed of support groups to help them through a this potentially difficult time.
Highly specialized diagnostic tests can help to identify the strength of deviant arousal such as exhibitionism, pedophilia, and other paraphilias. Self-control can be improved with specialized treatment, including individual behavior therapy, and medication.
Most individuals begin treatment with individual psychotherapy or behavior therapy. As treatment progresses, individuals are usually transitioned into a group treatment program to support and maintain the progress that they have achieved.
We offer a structured, safe, and nonjudgmental environment.
Specialized Treatment Programs
Professional Sexual Misconduct
The Professional Sexual Misconduct program addresses inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. This program emphasises appropriate impulse control and management as well as maintining appropriate professional boundaries.
NEFA is affiliated with Dr. Gene Abel's National Network For The Treatment Of Professional Sexual Misconduct. The National Network facilitates the evaluation, treatment, and monitoring of such persons, to protect children, patients, and clients, and where appropriate and safe, to assist such professionals to return to practice under strict supervision and monitoring.
Sexual Impulse Control Problems
NEFA has developed a specific treatment program for previously hard-to-treat behaviors such as exhibitionism, and those persons who struggle with the use of phone sex, internet pornography, child pornography, or other sexual addictions. Treating these sexual problems in a group, or just by medications alone, are not usually effective in preventing relapse, and a more multi-modal approach must be used.
Child Sexual Abuse
This program focuses on structure and close monitoring to bring abusive urges under immediate control using behavior therapy and learning of relapse prevention strategies and developing greater victim empathy, before addressing the development of stable, appropriate and non-exploitative, adult functioning.
