The STEPS Program (Supporting Teens Engaging Positive Solutions) is BestSelf Behavioral Health’s evidence-based treatment program for adolescents between the ages of 13 to 17 that experience problematic sexual behaviors (PSB).

What is the treatment program?

Problematic Sexual Behavior – Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (PSB-CBT) is a comprehensive family-based clinical treatment intervention for adolescents with problematic and/or illegal sexual behavior. The PSB-CBT models were developed and tested at the Center on Child Abuse and Neglect at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Overall goals of this treatment include eliminating problematic sexual behavior, improving coping skills, reducing trauma symptoms (when present) and enhancing individual and family interactions and overall relationships.
