Sex Compulsion/OCSB Assessments: Understanding the Process and What to Expect

Formal assessments can play a crucial role in identifying your strengths and challenges, offering clearer direction for your mental health care journey. At Wholesome Psychology, we understand that the path to healing and growth often begins with understanding yourself better. Our compassionate, trained therapists specialize in providing assessments that help individuals of all ages improve their well-being, address concerns related to sexual compulsion, and navigate important legal or risk-related matters. Through our comprehensive assessments, we support you in identifying areas for growth—whether it involves sexual compulsion, sexual offender or violence risk, or gender assessments and referrals.

What is a Sex Compulsion/OCSB Assessment?

A sex compulsion assessment is a structured tool used to evaluate whether an individual struggles with obsessive sexual behaviors or compulsive sexual actions. While reaching out for professional help may feel daunting or even embarrassing, it is often the first and most important step towards gaining control and finding peace. The goal of the assessment is to explore the extent of your behaviors and whether they may be indicative of an underlying condition, such as Obsessive-Compulsive Sexual Behavior (OCSB). If you're unsure whether you may benefit from an assessment, here are some questions to reflect on to help guide your decision.

Sexual Compulsion/OCSB Self-Assessment

If you find yourself identifying with any of the following, it might be time to consider reaching out for support through a sex compulsion assessment:

  • Do you hide aspects of your sexual activities from your partner?
  • Do you engage in sexual behaviors in risky or unsafe situations, against your better judgment?
  • Do you frequently seek sexually explicit content, such as pornography or erotic media?
  • Do sexual or romantic fantasies interfere with your personal relationships?
  • Do you often feel shame, guilt, or remorse after sexual encounters?
  • Do you find yourself needing more extreme sexual acts or higher frequency to achieve sexual satisfaction?
  • Have you ever been arrested, or are you at risk of being arrested, for behaviors such as voyeurism, exhibitionism, prostitution, or other criminal sexual activities?
  • Do your sexual activities contradict your religious or spiritual values?
  • Do your sexual behaviors put you at risk of disease, unwanted pregnancy, or involve coercion or violence?
  • Has your sexual behavior led to feelings of hopelessness, isolation, or suicidal thoughts?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it might be time to take the next step toward understanding your behaviors and seeking help. Our therapists are here to support you with empathy and professionalism as you navigate this process.

The Assessment Process

At Wholesome Psychology, our comprehensive sex compulsion assessments involve a combination of methods to ensure a thorough understanding of your needs. These include:

  • Standard interviews with the client
  • A review of background information
  • Psychological tests
  • Questionnaires and in-person testing
  • Additional tests, such as intelligence assessments, when necessary

The length of the assessment process can vary depending on the methods used. On average, the process takes 5 to 7 hours in total, with approximately 2 to 3 hours of direct involvement from the client. Rest assured that every step is designed to be as comfortable and helpful as possible, guiding you toward a clearer understanding of your mental health and well-being.
