We will also review limits of confidentiality with you at the start of the process so you know exactly what to expect.

You are still welcome to complete an evaluation. While many clients are referred by attorneys, some begin the process on their own.

We can coordinate with a qualified interpreter, or in some cases, a trusted family member may assist.

In some cases, a professional interpreter may be recommended to support clarity and neutrality.
