I was in the trenches! I handled every crisis, emergency, conflict, bullying situation, if there was any significant problem on the campuses I worked, it was me who was always relied on to fix everything. Those were school-related duties but I also had district/psych services-related duties, like conducting evaluations (testing, collecting data from teachers and parents, observations, and much more) then typing thorough reports. I also had several students that relied on me sometimes multiple times per week because of all sorts of issues (domestic violence, trauma, depression, anxiety, bullying, explosive anger, and I had difficulty saying "no" to a kid in need.  I loved the job but it became hard working 70 hrs/week to meet every demand. I was working with kids all day and doing reports, IEPs, child abuse reports, crisis reports, etc. all night and all weekend. I also worked during Winter and Spring Breaks to try to keep pace.

School Psychologist

I offer the potential client a free 15-minute phone call to briefly explain their reason for reaching out, then we schedule the official 1-hour consultation, which takes place at my office or online. It gives the potential client the time to go into detail about their needs, challenges, and together we develop a treatment plan. Assessment or for counseling (in office or online telehealth), or both. It's a good opportunity to meet me and determine whether I'm a good fit. 

Consultation

If we determine at the consultation that the client would like to hire me to do an assessment, this visit (office only), if all necessary forms have been signed, would be where the assessment process begins. We begin testing and interviewing. It's typically 2 hours. Depending on the type of assessment, it will require 2 to 4 visits. Some visits we will be able to do online. I allow payment in monthly installments with no interest. Price ranges from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on assessment type.

Assessment

If we determine at the consultation that the client wants to hire me for counseling services, either in person at the office or via telehealth online, we will get to know each other, we'll talk about any problems you are experiencing and I will actively listen and I will empathize. No one has the passion or relatable style I have. I will introduce you to quick and easy strategies that, if practiced with consistency, I promise you will improve, you will develop skills, you will feel better.
