I specialized in psychological testing and clinical therapy. I had a vast range of assessment experience in the areas of ADHD, cognitive or academic functioning, personality assessment, abuse and trauma, behavioral disorders, emotional or mood disorders, and parental fitness. I also had successful therapy experiences with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of psychological issues.

At OPS, I conducted therapy services for children and parents, adults, and families. I specialized in treating behavioral disorders, bipolar conditions, reactive attachment issues, and trauma-specific issues (e.g., sexual/physical abuse, neglect). I also conducted hundreds of psychological evaluations for parental fitness, substance abuse, child custody, developmental and emotional disability, learning disorder, ADHD, and emotional distress.

I specialized in treating behavioral disorders, bipolar conditions, reactive attachment issues, and trauma-specific issues (e.g., sexual/physical abuse, neglect). I also conducted hundreds of psychological evaluations for parental fitness, substance abuse, child custody, developmental and emotional disability, learning disorder, ADHD, and emotional distress. Optimal Psychological Services specifically provided psychological evaluations for the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS); therefore, many of my assessments were specifically referred for parental fitness, child custody, abuse or neglect, substance abuse, and domestic violence. Upon conducting evaluations, I generally wrote reports for contract agencies, courts, or school referral sources; though, some of the referrals were self-referred. Show less

Intern responsibilities included managing twenty client contact hours per week, fulfilling documentation and billing requirements, and facilitating community presentations on such topics as behavior management and preventing child sexual abuse. My caseload included children and adolescents of diverse ethnic and socio economic backgrounds with most being involved with foster care or post-adopt. Client diagnoses ranged from reactive attachment disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and pediatric bi-polar disorder, with all having a history of trauma and/or neglect. Additional training and experience included conducting multidisciplinary specialty psychological assessments and psycho-sexual evaluations. As clinical rotations, I also had the opportunity to conduct psycho-sexual assessments at the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center, observe therapists within the Employee Assistance Program, and facilitate fitness groups at Hope Children’s Hospital. Supervision and didactics were a high priority at AFCN-CTTP, thus I received three one-hour individual supervision sessions per week, two hours of group supervision weekly, and two hours of didactic trainings each week (in diagnostic assessment, play and art therapy, and cultural diversity).

Services include therapy, forensic interviews and evaluations, expert testimony, victim support and advocacy, and joint investigations with law enforcement, the department of family and children services (DFCS), medical providers, and the district attorney’s office. While at GCCA, I provided closely-supervised therapy to children ages 5 to 16, which included individual, family, and group therapy. I observed forensic interviews, participated in multidisciplinary team meetings, facilitated a presentation on PTSD in children, assisted with community fundraisers, and completed trainings on specialized topics (e.g., child sexual abuse prevention, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy). I was responsible for administrative duties, intake interviews, collateral contacts with teachers, caseworkers, and attorneys, and providing quarterly treatment updates for DFCS-involved clients.

As a therapist there, I predominately worked with children and adolescents referred by a school, home, or community resource. My experience was largely with ethnic minority groups from low socio-economic backgrounds. Aside from conducting therapy, it was also my responsibility to keep detailed records and treatment plans, conduct thorough intake interviews, and attend weekly staff meetings. I also completed six extensive assessments during my practicum year and following my time there, was hired as a part-time psychometrist to complete assessments and reports on an ‘as needed’ basis.
