Psychological Counseling Services
In addition to assessment and evaluation services, psychologists can also provide treatment services to individuals involved in the court system. This can include adjustment counseling for adults and children involved in divorce proceedings, parenting skills training or anger management counseling for parents with identified psychological problems which present a risk for child abuse, parental mediation services post-divorce to reduce parental conflict and assist in the development of cooperative parenting, and psychological treatment of adult and juvenile offenders whose crimes were committed, at least in part, because of diagnosed psychological factors. This could include anger management counseling, sex offender therapy, counseling to increase victim empathy, substance abuse treatment, or extended psychotherapy for personality disorders.
