How the Process Works
Schedule
Call or email to set your first appointment (telehealth or in person).
Your First Session
Bring photo ID. We explain the required intake forms, send DocuSign for e-signature, and complete the evaluation interview.
Discovery Review
With your signed authorization, we request court discovery and relevant legal history—required in addition to the interview.
Results and Next Steps
We discuss findings and recommendations, send the evaluation report to the recipients you authorize, and—if you choose—schedule education or treatment. Reports are transmitted consistent with office policy after required authorizations and financial arrangements are satisfied.
