Welcome to Stephen Brake Associates

We provide a variety of forensic psychological services.

We specialize in conducting sex-offense-specific evaluations, forensic assessments, psychological testing, and mental health evaluations with both adults and adolescents.

We are licensed to conduct the Abel Assessment for Sexual Interest.

We provide consulting, training, and expert witness services focused on sex offending, violent offending, internet pornography, risk assessment, sexual harassment, community safety, and the personality dynamics of criminal offenders.  We provide training in treatment program development for both adult and adolescent offenders and we offer program evaluation services.

We collaborated with KBSolutions to develop the SSOTR which is an instrument for use in mapping the progress of sex offenders in treatment.  The SSOTR was recently updated to be compatible with the Risk-Needs-Responsivity, Self Regulation/Pathways, and Good Lives Model treatment approaches.

We conduct ongoing reviews of the research literature pertaining to sex offender recidivism, risk prediction, and the effectiveness of sex-offense-specific treatment.

Our clients include judicial agencies, probation and parole, prosecutors, defense attorneys, human services departments, treatment providers, and private clients.

Dr. Brake is currently completing a “how to” book on evaluating adult sex offenders.
