What
To Expect:
If you are coming in for a court ordered evaluation you will
fill out a few forms and a questionnaire. Then we will talk
about your situation (this will take about an hour). Approximately
one week or less after our meeting, provided I have all the
information I need, I will send a typed report to you and
your referral source such as a probation officer or an attorney.
-
Fees:
• Fees for court ordered evaluations range from $100-$150.
• When possible, expedited reports are available for an additional
fee: $50 for reports completed before the end of the next
business day; $30 for reports completed within 5 business
days.
• Payment is expected at the time services are rendered and
I accept payment by cash, all major credit cards and debit
cards (no personal checks please).
• Please note that additional charges will apply to extra
paperwork required for some out of state evaluations.
-
Phone Evaluations/Assessments:
• The evaluations listed above are also available via
phone appointments for $150 (the expedited fees listed above
also apply to these evaluations). We encourage you to check
with your probation officer or attorney first to verify that
this will be acceptable.
• When you contact our office please indicate that you are
requesting a phone evaluation. We will need to collect payment
upfront to e-mail or mail to you the forms to complete. You
can use a credit card or you can mail a cashiers check or
money order to our address (no personal checks please). Once
you’ve completed the forms you will send them back to us.
When we receive your forms we will contact you for the phone
interview.

What
to expect when you come in for your first session:
….My first priority to my clients is to create an environment
that is safe, comfortable, respectful, caring, positive and
full of hope. I will always keep the client’s best interest
in mind.
If you are coming in for an individual counseling session,
you will fill out a few forms before we begin and then we
will go through an assessment. The assessment helps me get
to know you and it gives you a chance to share with me your
reasons for seeking counseling. The session will last an hour.
I offer e-mail support between sessions (within reason of
course).
-
Fees:
• Fees for individual counseling sessions are $100 per one
hour session.
• Payment is expected at the time services are rendered and
I accept payment by cash, all major credit cards and debit

You will be required to complete a DHR Approved Clinical Evaluation in
the State of Georgia if the following applies:
-
If you have been convicted of your first DUI and your arrest
date was on or after 7/1/2008.
-
If you have been convicted of more than one DUI within a 5 year

If you require a DHR Approved Clinical
Evaluation, you will first have to complete the DUI School and have them fax to me
the following information:
-
Your
NEEDS Assessment results (approximately 6-7 pages).
Please note that you can not bring this information with
you, it has to be faxed directly to me from the DUI School.
You will probably have to go to the DUI School and sign a release.
-
Paperwork from the DUI Schools can be faxed
to 404/250-6261. My DHR Clinical Evaluator
number is 38400. Please call me to make an appointment
once your paperwork has been faxed.

If for some reason you do not have all
the paperwork ready, we can still meet for an evaluation,
however, I will not be able to complete the evaluation and/or
recommendations until I have all the paperwork needed.
Please
bring with you the following information:
1.
Your letter of completion
(from the DUI School).
2.
You will also need
to bring a copy of your ten (10) year driving history/record.
You can get this from the DMV. You can go to
www.dds.ga.gov
We can then schedule
an appointment to meet for approximately 1-2 hours to complete
the evaluation.
For more information about the new changes to the DUI laws as of 7/1/2008,

Most likely, if
you have been charged with a DUI, other drug or alcohol related
charge or anger/violence related charge, you will be required
to undergo an evaluation or assessment. If at all possible, it
is in your best interest to undergo this evaluation before your
court date. I am aware of at least two important reasons for this:
-
It shows the
court (or judge) that you are taking responsibility for your
actions (which makes you look good).
-
It can
get you through the system a little faster since you have
already started the process (this also makes you look good).
Some clients hesitate
to do this because they fear that they will automatically be recommended
treatment. This is not the case with the evaluations that I provide.
I do not believe that every person who has been charged with a
DUI or other drug or alcohol related charge has a substance abuse
problem, therefore, not everyone is recommended treatment. However,
sometimes this could be an indication that an individual is either
currently having a problem or they could be at high risk for developing
a problem in the future.
As a client, you
always have the right to get a second opinion if you disagree
with the evaluation results or recommendations. You also have
the right to complete any treatment recommendations at your facility
of choice.

I would be happy
to come to your company or organization to speak on a variety
of topics including stress management, time management, relaxation
techniques, and living a balanced life (among other topics). I
can also create workshops based on your specific needs.
Fees for these workshops vary depending on the length of the workshop
and the size of audience (I will try to work within your budget).
