What to Expect

Prospective clients are encouraged to contact me by phone, email or by submitting an inquiry here on my website. Please provide your name, contact information and a detailed description about your treatment needs.

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss 1) the prospective client's needs for treatment or testing, 2) share information regarding my practice and clinical expertise, and 3) discuss goodness-of-fit and potential referrals.

If the prospective client and myself agree that it is a good fit, an initial intake appointment is scheduled to gather additional information on symptoms, behaviors and goals. The first 1-4 appointments act as a treatment evaluation which is used to thoroughly evaluate clinical needs, goodness-of-fit and provide recommendations and referrals if needed. There are 2 pathways that come from the Treatment evaluation:

•  Referral to a provider, agency or community resource that is better suited to meet the client's needs. 

• Engage in weekly therapy to address treatment goals. 

Psychological testing procedures vary based on the needs of testing; however, prospective clients can expect the following testing procedures.

•  Testing Intake - 1-2 hour interview to gather background information, data on symptoms and behaviors and complete necessary screening inventories. 

• In-Person Testing - 2-6 hours participating in various tasks, activities and observations to assess cognitive and adaptive functioning, screen for social-communication strengths and barriers and screen for other mental health conditions.​​

• Feedback session - 1-2 hour meeting with myself to review the testing data, diagnostic impressions and recommendations for treatment, school, work and the community. Clients will be provided with a copy of their individual testing report.
