Compassionate Support for Teens and Families

When a teenager engages in problematic or harmful sexual behaviors, it can feel overwhelming, confusing, and frightening for both the teen and their family. These behaviors may include boundary violations, sexualized behaviors that are not age-appropriate, or acting out in ways that create risk for themselves or others.

At Catalyst Counseling, we specialize in providing evidence-based therapy for teens with problematic sexual behaviors (PSB) in Crown Point and across Northwest Indiana. Our goal is to help adolescents take responsibility, learn healthy boundaries, and develop the tools they need to make safer, healthier choices — while supporting the entire family in the healing process.

Understanding Problematic Sexual Behaviors in Teens

Problematic sexual behaviors can arise for many reasons, including:

• Exposure to trauma, neglect, or abuse

• Lack of healthy sexual education or guidance

• Impulse-control difficulties

• Struggles with peer relationships or social boundaries

• Underlying mental health or behavioral concerns

These behaviors do not define your child’s future. With the right interventions, adolescents can learn accountability, empathy, and healthier ways to navigate relationships and emotions.

How Therapy Can Help

Our therapy approach is trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and tailored to each teen’s needs. In sessions, we focus on:

• Accountability and responsibility – helping teens recognize the impact of their actions.

• Education on healthy boundaries – learning age-appropriate sexual knowledge and respectful behaviors.

• Coping skills – developing self-control, stress management, and problem-solving strategies.

• Family involvement – working with parents/caregivers to rebuild trust, strengthen supervision, and create a safe home environment.

• Long-term prevention – supporting resilience, empathy, and healthy decision-making.

We may use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Multisystemic Therapy principles, and specialized evidence-based models for PSB treatment.
