Sex Offense Specific Treatment
Kandor provides sex offense specific treatment grounded in theories of criminal deterrence and utilizes evidenced based approaches for treating juveniles and adults with a history of sexual offending behaviors. The modality of treatment includes group therapy and individual treatment planning sessions to meet individual needs and promote healthy integration into the community. In treatment, clients focus on identifying and replacing maladaptive cognitive patterns that supported the offending behavior and creating a plan to live a healthy lifestyle.
Risk Evaluations
Through advanced knowledge and experience in clinical and forensic psychology, Kandor conducts risk evaluations to assess an individual’s level of risk to themselves and to the community.

It will involve the production of a report, not covered by insurance, containing specialized information regarding sexual history and level of risk.
