    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.

    • 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.

Individual Counseling:

Including (but not limited to) the following issues: personal growth, stress management, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger management, substance abuse, spirituality, relationship issues, divorce, grief and childhood abuse issues (physical, emotional and sexual).

  •  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 for individual counseling sessions are $100 per one hour session.

DHR Approved Clinical Evaluations:

You will be required to complete a DHR Approved Clinical Evaluation in the State of Georgia if the following applies:

  1. If you have been convicted of your first DUI and your arrest date was on or after 7/1/2008.
  2. If you have been convicted of more than one DUI within a 5 year period, and your first arrest date was before 7/1/2008.
  3. If you have been convicted of more than one DUI within a 10 year period, and your first arrest date was on or after 7/1/2008.

If you require a DHR Approved Clinical Evaluation for either a first DUI conviction (if your arrest was on or after 7/1/2008) or multiple DUI convictions, you will first have to complete the DUI School and have them fax to me the following information (we can not schedule an appointment until I have these forms):

  1. Your NEEDS Assessment results from the DUI School (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 have to go to the DUI School and sign a release.

  2. Paperwork from the DUI Schools can be faxed to 404/250-6261. My DHR Clinical Evaluator number is 1642. Please call me to make an appointment once your paperwork has been faxed.

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 (or your 7 year driving history/record, if the 10 year is not available). 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, please go to the Georgia General Assembly website at www.legis.ga.gov (on the bottom left corner click Previous Sessions, then click 2007-2008, then under Legislation enter HB 336 and click Retrieve Bill, then click Current Version).

DUI’s & other legal charges:

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:

  1. It shows the court (or judge) that you are taking responsibility for your actions (which makes you look good).

  2.  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.
