Legal Consultation including Custody Evaluations
Psychologists are sometimes needed to help with legal proceedings, because judges need input from experts in psychological and family matters. Custody evaluations commonly use psychologists to provide information about the best interests of the child in a divorce.
Generally, both parents are evaluated with an interview and psychological testing, the children are interviewed with each parent and by themselves, and sometimes a home study is done. We have prepared guidelines to help parents and attorneys understand the role of the psychologist in providing information to the court in these cases, so feel free to call and ask for a copy of the guidelines.

Performance Psychology
Whether in school, sports, music, business, or any creative field, blocks in performance can hold creative people back from reaching their potential. Procrastination, performance anxiety, writer’s block, test anxiety are all concepts to describe times when we don’t perform up to our abilities. Modern psychological research has demonstrated the encouraging fact that these problems can almost always be overcome. Sometimes a shift in a mental set can alleviate the problem almost immediately, sometimes an incremental approach is needed to deal with a block. In one or two sessions, you can find out which approach is most likely to work for you.
