Alongside his wife, Miriam Galindo, Psy.D., Dr. Jorge Galindo offers counseling services to children, adolescents, and families from his private practice, Galindo and Associates. Dr. Jorge Galindo has an extensive background working with law enforcement agencies and officers. He is a Reserve Deputy Sheriff for Orange County, California, and has provided mental health services to Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) employees through his work with the Health and Human Services Group (HHSG). HHSG provides counseling services for the DEA’s Employee Assistance Program, which supports the mental and behavioral health needs of over 10,000 DEA employees. HHSG provides brief counseling sessions to deal with a range of issues, including substance abuse, bereavement, and stress. Employees in need of counseling services are entitled to up to six face-to-face sessions with mental health professionals at no cost. The first counseling session is usually scheduled within three days of the initial consultation, and therapists also work with family members of DEA employees to help identify and solve work-related problems. In-person counseling takes place at offices near DEA facilities.

A licensed therapist and owner of a private practice, Jorge Galindo works alongside his wife Miriam, offering clinical therapy services to families, individuals, and children. Jorge Galindo has experience and training in the treatment of domestic violence, sexual offense, and child custody cases. The diversion treatment Mr. Galindo undertakes with court-appointed patients is an alternative to criminal trial proceedings, generally offered to low-risk and first-time offenders. Supplying defendants with counseling can be less costly, and potentially more beneficial, than court and conviction alternatives. Depending on the legal policies in place in the region, the defendant may or may not be required to plead guilty to charges in order to enter the diversion program. Generally, the defendant and their crime must fit a number of characteristics predetermined by the system. Often, diversion treatment is available only to defendants who have committed minor, non-violent crimes. Some systems, however, allow those convicted of child abuse and domestic violence to be considered for the program as well. Based in Irvine, California, Dr. Jorge Galindo is a licensed therapist who, along with his wife, treats patients at their private practice. Dr. Jorge Galindo has extensive background in working with adolescent sexual perpetrators.
According to the National Center on Sexual Behavior of Youth, although research is limited, researchers have complied some basic information related to adolescent sex offenders. 1. Adolescent sex offenders typically do not commit offenses against adults, and adolescents who do victimize adults tend to be older than 16. 2. About one-third of sex crimes against children are committed by teenagers. Offenses against children under the age of 12 are typically committed by boys aged 12 to 15. 3. Adolescent sex offenders differ from adult sex offenders in multiple ways. They tend to have fewer victims and engage in less-serious behaviors. They typically do not share the same deviant sexual interests that adults do, and they are typically more responsive to treatment than adult sex offenders. |
