Trauma Assessments in Georgia
You may be looking for help understanding difficult experiences, or someone may have asked you to complete a trauma assessment. When you reach out, tell me what prompted the request and whether you need an assessment, ongoing therapy, or a report for another person or organization.
Appointments are typically available within one week. Fees vary by assessment and are confirmed before scheduling.
Start with what you need from the appointment
If you have a referral, share its wording and any instructions about the assessment’s purpose. It is helpful to know who requested it, whether a report is needed, and whether there is a deadline.
If you are reaching out on your own, you can begin by explaining what you hope to clarify. You do not need to describe difficult experiences in detail in your initial inquiry.
A trauma assessment and ongoing therapy serve different purposes
An assessment request may involve a particular question or documentation requirement. Ongoing therapy involves a continuing therapeutic relationship.
Tell me which kind of help you are seeking so we can discuss the appropriate next step. Booking an assessment does not automatically arrange ongoing therapy.
What to clarify before scheduling
Have any referral instructions available, along with the name of the requesting organization and its requirements. Ask how to provide records before sending sensitive documents.
Availability, fees, and reports
Appointments are typically available within one week, subject to current availability. Assessments are private-pay services and are not billed to insurance.
Mention any report deadline before booking. Appointment availability and report completion are separate timelines, and the fee for your requested assessment will be confirmed before scheduling.
Common questions
Can I ask about an assessment without a referral?
You can contact me to explain what you are looking for. We can discuss whether an assessment or another service fits your request.
Do I need to send a detailed account of my experiences?
You can start with a brief explanation of the service you need. Ask how to share sensitive information or records before sending them.
Will another organization accept the report?
Acceptance depends on that organization’s requirements. Confirm those requirements before booking; an assessment does not guarantee acceptance or a particular decision. I have extensive experience with clinical assessments for Department of Family and Children’s Services and court-ordered assessments.
