Treatment for Problematic Sexual Behavior
Medlin Treatment Center has qualified therapists who specialize in helping clients control and stop unhealthy sexual behaviors.
Services for Children & Adolescents:
We offer evidence-based counseling for children and adolescents exhibiting concerning sexual behaviors. We address issues such as inappropriate touching, excessive sexual curiosity, or difficulty managing sexual impulses. Our therapists use age-appropriate techniques to help young people understand healthy sexuality. develop coping skills, and make positive behavioral changes. Family involvement is a key component of our approach.
Our Treatment Program:
We offer a specialized, evidence-based treatment called Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB). This approach integrates trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive-behavioral strategies to address underlying trauma, promote healthy behaviors, and support families.

Treatment is tailored based on the child's age, developmental level, reading skills, and nature of the sexual concerns.
