Mental Health and/or Substance Misuse Evaluations

A five session evaluation costs $2500

I write evaluations for 3rd parties, such as schools, universities, employers and the courts. I complete these within 72 hours of our final session.

Common court cases involving child custody, ability to own firearms, and issues around substance misuse.

I usually screen people for anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal ideation and substance misuse. If there is a suspicion or history of another diagnosis, I will evaluate that as well.

Drug screens are a mandatory part of my evaluations. I make careful recommendations for appropriate treatment.

Because of my experience, resume, credentials and writing abilities, courts tend to take my reports very seriously and usually follow my recommendations.

To be clear, just because one pays me to do an evaluation does not mean that they recieve their desired outcome – I honestly report exactly what I see and I make the treatment and behavioral recommendations that I ethcially and clinically believe to be in the best interests of the client.
