Sexually Maladaptive Youth Treatment Program
Who we treat:
Adolescents and adults with sexually maladaptive behaviors, as identified by legal Departments of Juvenile Justice, Department of Child and Family Services and/or family referral.
What we offer:
If treatment is determined, available options are:
Sexually Maladaptive Youth Treatment Group:
Our outpatient sexually maladaptive youth group provides therapeutic services in a group setting, to adolescents who exhibit abusive, offending behaviors that are sexually inappropriate. The goal of the sexually maladaptive youth group is to provide adolescents who have been convicted of a sexual offense with perspective and tools to prevent repeat offenses. The group meets once weekly on Thursday evenings. All prospective clients must meet with the group facilitator, Jacob Sherron, before attending.
How to Get Started:
The needs and behaviors of juveniles who have committed sexual offenses should be understood on a continuum. Many Juveniles convicted of sex offenses require approaches which are non-traditional from adolescent counseling services. Providers need to understand each juvenile who has committed a sexual offense has individual needs; to be assessed while they work with the youth. Call us at (219)663-6353 for more information or to schedule an intake appointment.

Community Based Services for Children with Problematic Sexual Behavior, Child Victims, and Families
Crown Counseling was awarded a three-year federally funded grant by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Supporting Effective Interventions for Adolescent Sex Offenders and Children with Sexual Behavior Problems.
The OJJDP grant is in collaboration with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) and the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). The Crown Counseling Sexually Maladaptive Youth (SMY) Team received training in the most current Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) for this population; Problematic Sexual Behavior-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (PSB-CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Problematic Sexual Behavior (TF-CBT for PSB), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Evidence-based treatment is one that has been significantly evaluated and proven to make a significant difference in treatment outcomes.
The OJJDP grant has allowed Crown Counseling to expand our services to youth who sexually offend through the SMY Program that Crown Counseling began 12 years ago. There is no cost for the services provided through the grant for those who qualify.
Intake Assessment
All potential clients will participate in an initial intake which will include a biopsychosocial and administration of measures to gather proper baseline of PSB behaviors.
● A biopsychosocial intake is conducted to gather information to determine if treatment is warranted
● Measures are administered for treatment goal baseline
● Safety plan is completed
● If further assessment such as a Psychosexual Assessment is warranted, recommendations will be made at the time of intake
*** If it is determined that the client does not meet grant eligibility, but PSB is present, Crown Counseling can provide outpatient services such as individual and/or group counseling. Crown Counseling is a Medicaid and Medicare provider***
