Company Profile
O’Brien Counseling Services, Inc. offers a wide range of counseling services, included but not limited to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship counseling, grief, anger
management, and stress management (in both English and Spanish).
We also offer Sex Offender Treatment Program which revolves around the central treatment goal of decreasing victimization. Philosophically, O’Brien Counseling Services, Inc. views sex offenders as having a behavioral disorder - one which they can learn to control, but not cure.
The development of internal management, or self-control, is an underlying theme in all of
the work conducted with the sex offender. However, internal management is often not
enough to ensure that the sex offender benefits from treatment. Therefore, a level of external management is also necessary. To that end, working with the Community Supervision and Corrections staff, as well as others involved in the offender’s life who can affirm or deny the reports given of responsible and/or irresponsible behaviors, is strongly emphasized. The treatment interventions that O’Brien Counseling Services, Inc. uses are based on cognitive-behavioral, reality-oriented theories. Learning adaptive pro-social coping skills, geared toward breaking their offending patterns, is further stressed as part of the therapeutic process.
