Comments Regarding Theoretical Orientation of Staff

Most of our staff and supervisors work from a Forensic frame (not listed above) which focuses on interdisciplinary responsiveness, transparency and honest, with a focus on responsibility and accountability that is modeled to our forensic clients. We utilize evidence based treatment in both of our treatment programs (Shaping Success and Crossroads Competency Restoration) that include workbooks that are predominantly CBT in nature. However, we often have to utilize a family systems approach to best help our clients with their supports. Additionally, we have two supervisors who are have psychodynamic orientations that supplement trainee experience.
