Mind Over Matters Counseling services those in need in the following areas:

Outpatient Therapy

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

  • Individuals age 11 and above
  • Couples (marital and premarital)

I provide individual outpatient therapy, couples therapy and group therapy for substance abuse and adolescent issues Outpatient behavioral health psychotherapy services are provided in an office. The focus of outpatient psychotherapy treatment is to improve or maintain an individual's ability to function as well as decrease symptoms that may complicate functioning. I have an eclectic approach for addressing of mental health matters. My theoretical orientation is grounded through use of the Cognitive-Behavioral Model. I also draw on a Solution focused therapeutic approach . Solution-focused brief therapy is an approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving. It explores current resources and future hopes rather than present problems and past causes and typically involves only three to five sessions.

DOT SAP Assessments

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) requires companies employing individuals who hold commercial driver licenses (CDLs) to perform random, pre-employment, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and return-to-duty drug and alcohol tests. Under 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 40, any individual who tests positive for drugs or alcohol must be referred to a qualified SAP who will provide a comprehensive, face-to-face assessment and clinical evaluation and recommend a course of treatment. These regulations apply to FAA, FMCSA, FRA, FTA, RSPA, and USCG. If you are an employee working under DOT rules and test positive for drugs or refuse a DOT drug or alcohol test, the employer must follow specific federal guidelines before allowing you to perform (or be hired to perform) safety-sensitive duties.

Psychosexual Evaluations

The purpose of Psychosexual Evaluations are to determine risk of the behaviors being repeated, determine an individual’s readiness to comply with treatment, determine strengths and protective factors, determine specific risk factors and determine what interventions will be most effective in treatment.

The Evaluation Process

Psychosexual evaluations usually take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. The evaluation is completed over several sessions. Please be prepared to discuss one’s sexual history, sexual development, attitudes, behaviors, etc.). To enhance the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation, information from different sources (police reports, victim statements, court interviews, etc.) will be gathered.
