When indicated I am glad to work collaboratively with other therapists and alternative health care providers. At all times I am aware of the trust, time, and money invested by clients who come to me seeking relief from distress or to make changes in their lives – often when a relationship, success in school or job, or emotional well-being are at stake. The psychotherapeutic relationship involves commitment and accountability on both sides of the endeavor; the Psychologist-Client Services contract and HIPAA Confidentiality Disclosure, and my resume should be read carefully before beginning treatment. I take my professional responsibilities seriously and consult as needed with other professionals. One of the most valuable resources to me in my work with children and all academic-performance issues is my participation in the Triangle Child and Adolescent Resources specialists' peer-consultation group (http://www.TrianglePsychology.com). The members of this group are all very experienced, independently licensed professionals specializing in a variety of services to children, teens, and college students.
