wHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE PROCESS
Consultation/Booking Appointment
I offer a 15 minute free phone consultation where we will discuss how I can help you. Next, we can schedule times for the interviews, which are conducted over Telehealth (video), or in person. I currently only offer in person in Brea, CA. At this time I will send you consent forms to be filled out prior to the interview.
Evaluation- Interview
This part of the process happens over one interview that can last approximately 2.5 -3 hours. Another option is to break it up over two interviews, about 1.5 hours each. I will provide a safe and comfortable space to learn more about your story over a series of questions to gather as much information and detail as possible so that I provide an assessment for your application.
Report
Once the interview is completed, I can provide your attorney/legal team with a report in roughly 14 business days. If you are representing yourself, I will also provide the report in secure manor with the same time frame. If you select a payment plan, the report will be sent once the remainder of the balance is complete. There is an additional fee if you request an expedited report and are only available based on therapist's schedule. It is important that you share your time frame at the time of scheduling.
