Client Intake

During this appointment the client meets with a qualified staff member and they go over the paperwork prepared by the client, as well as other pertinent information to determine if the client is appropriate for our program.

 

 

Anger Management

Sometimes an individual is not appropriate for our full program and is only in need of anger management skills. These clients do not have histories of domestic violence and/or child abuse; either perpetrated or experienced. The decision as to whom is appropriate for Anger Management is made by the clinician.

 

 

 

Behavioral Risk Assessments 

Behavioral Risk Assessments include client interviews, collection of collateral information, interviews of other involved persons, a survey of criminal and civil cases involving the client, review of any related mental health records or other assessments, and whatever other information may be pertinent to defining the situation, helping to determine how the client got to where they are now, assess the behaviors, and make treatment recommendations. This information is generated into a report.

 

 

Expert Witness Testimony

At times this office is asked to provide expert witness testimony regarding domestic violence, DV offender treatment, the effects of DV on the victim(s), and DV programs. Additionally, there are times we have provided expert witness testimony on ADHD and working with individuals with ADHD and/or Sensory Processing Issues.

 

 

Re-Entry
