Forensic Psychotherapy

Forensic psychotherapy is an evidence-based mental health treatment focused on understanding, explaining and improving the behavior of individuals who have been arrested or accused of a crime. It combines clinical psychology, psychotherapy, and legal processes to help offenders gain self-awareness, develop healthier lifestyles and learn to take responsibility for their actions. By understanding and addressing the underlying psychological, emotional and behavioral issues of offenders, forensic psychotherapy can help reduce recidivism and improve public safety. In addition, it can have beneficial effects on the quality of life of the offender and their families and communities.
