I have always believed that psychological assessment was part of the therapeutic process. Psychological assessment is more than just diagnoses and numbers; it helps provide a better understanding of the human experience and can identify a “roadmap” for healing. I realized I can best provide a more therapeutic psychological assessment model in a solo practice. In 2024, I made the decision to branch off on my own. I started my own private practice, Pay It Forward Assessments, LLC. I named my practice “Pay It Forward” because I have always believed services should be accessible to all. I have been conducting low cost and pro-bono work since I obtained my license, offsetting my costs of living through my primary employment at the time (e.g., academic, group practice work). The practice is designed so that 20% of my evaluations will be conducted free of charge to those individuals who cannot otherwise afford them. This allows me to pursue my goal of providing a therapeutic assessment experience while still giving back to the community.
