DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT
We initiate our patient-centered approach for all our services by undertaking a comprehensive diagnostic assessment. This process involves conducting an initial evaluation, formulating a precise diagnosis, and crafting a customized treatment plan designed to accomplish specific, outcome-based goals.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
We provide precision-driven psychological services, utilizing measurement-based approaches to attain the outcome-based goals set in the treatment plan. Our comprehensive range of services encompasses individual, group, and family therapy sessions, ensuring a tailored approach to address diverse needs.
ONLINE THERAPY (TELETHERAPY)
We currently offer teletherapy, or online therapy through our secure client portal. Clients interested in teletherapy will undergo a brief screening process to determine fit for themselves, as well as our clinicians. Many clients opting for this service find its ease of use, and ability to better manage time while juggling a busy lifestyle, as significant benefits. This service is available for Texas residents. Call, or email us to set up an appointment.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
The assessment process is usually undertaken to gain a better understanding of an individual’s perceptions, thought processes, and learning styles. Psychological tests are often necessary to identify the presence of learning disabilities, mood disorders, ADHD, and other psychological issues. We have extensive training and experience in several forms of assessment, including achievement, intelligence, psychological, and behavioral testing. The evaluation process is individualized and can include exploration of academic skills, attention, behavioral and emotional functioning. After interviews, testing, and scoring are completed, we will provide you with a report and feedback regarding strengths, challenges, and limits to success. As part of the reporting process, we offer recommendations to improve functioning in a variety of areas. The results of the assessment can provide a framework for academic or vocational intervention, as well as treatment planning.
PRE-SURGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
Often a requirement from one’s insurance, a pre-surgical psychological evaluation includes a multi-method data collection approach which helps determine one’s psychological and behavioral readiness for surgery, as well as outlines any factors that could negatively impact one’s recovery. A comprehensive report would be provided to one’s referring doctor with information regarding current psychological functioning as well as areas one may need additional support and/or assistance in.
Court Action and Legal Fees
Clients are strongly discouraged from having their therapist subpoenaed or having them provide records for the purpose of litigation. Even though you are responsible for the testimony fee, it does not mean the therapist’s testimony will be solely in your favor. A therapist can only testify to the facts of the case and, if qualified to do so by the court, in their professional opinion. Asking a therapist to provide confidential records or testify can damage the trust built in a counseling relationship with a client especially if the therapist is still seeing that client in therapy. Suppose one of our therapist is subpoenaed to testify or provide records in a case where our client is a child. In that case, the therapeutic relationship is effectively ended and it is very likely we will not continue to provide services to that child/family.
If a therapist with Salt and Light Psychological Services PLLC is to receive a subpoena, then the attorney or office staff will need to call the office and set up a time for the subpoena to be served during office hours. The therapist will request a minimum of 72 business hours notice of any Court appearance so that schedule changes for their clients can be made within a reasonable time frame.
Please note: If a subpoena or notice to meet attorney(s) is received without a minimum of 72 business hours notice, there will be an additional $250 express charge.
When it comes to court action, the following fees are in effect:
- Preparation Time (including submission of records): $220/hour (billable in 15-minute increments)
- Phone calls: $220/hour (billable in 15-minute increments)
- Depositions: $250/hour
- Time required in Giving Testimony: $250/hour
- Mileage: .56/mile
- Time Away from office due to Depositions or Testimony: $220/hour
- All attorney fees and costs that are incurred by the therapist as a result of the legal action.
- Filing document with the court: $100
- The minimum charge for a court appearance: $1500
A retainer of $1500 is due at least 72 business hours before the scheduled court appearance. The remainder of the costs will be billed after the court appearance and will be due upon receipt. If the therapist is subpoenaed and the case is reset with less than 72 business hours notice prior to the beginning of the day of the scheduled subpoena, trial, and/or testimony is not given, then the client will be charged $500 (in addition to the original retainer of $1500 for having to appear in court). All fees listed above are doubled if the therapist has priorly been scheduled to be out of town at the time of the court appearance.
