The Specialty Clinics include the Sexual Behaviours Clinic, the Psycho-legal Clinic and the Kurt Freund Phallometric Lab. Each of the clinics provides outpatient assessments and treatment.

Psycho-legal Clinic
(416) 535-8501, ext. 4886

The Sexual Behaviours Clinic of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health provides multidisciplinary assessment and treatment services for individuals with sexual behaviours or urges that may have resulted in personal or legal difficulties. The initial assessment consists of a mental health interview and may include phallometric assessment and/or psychological testing. Decisions related to treatment options will be made by the assessment and treatment team.

Our program uses a multi-disciplinary approach. Our team includes professionals from psychiatry, psychology, sexology, social work, and other disciplines. The sexual behaviors clinic treatment model uses an eclectic, evidence-based approach that includes aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Individuals referred by physicians and by parole/probation offices will be assessed only at the conclusion of any outstanding legal issues.
