About right fit CONSULTING
right fit CONSULTING offers over a decade of clinical expertise and treatment industry knowledge to licensed professionals, families and clients AT NO COST, to assess, evaluate and construct the right fit individualized treatment plan through communication, collaboration, and care.
Over the past 13 years working with therapists, psychiatrists, individual clients and their families, I have received calls from people who have had multiple treatment experiences – spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and still have not received the treatment they need or deserve. This breaks my heart. I think, “If only they had called me.”
When a family member or individual calls me I begin with a clinical assessment that includes family history, current life stressors and situation, as well as diagnostics and medications they have been given. I talk about life situation (ability to take time off from job, care of children), insurance and financial resources. Having visited most of the major treatment centers in the country for mental health and addiction, I guide selection of treatment options based on the primary clinical needs with consideration of secondary symptomatic issues. I have chosen to work with a spectrum of treatment resources for mental health for adults and adolescents, chemical and process addictions with dual diagnosis, as well as specialty programs for specific populations: Professionals and Chronic Pain treatment of addictive disorders that offer the highest caliber treatment in the industry. I refer outside the resources I represent when appropriate.
