HEALTHY DECISIONS

 EVALUATIONS

We evaluate clients who are involved in civil or criminal court cases. All services are provided remotely. For live conversations, we use video or phone, and for written communication, we use text/email. Additionally, we review court records, police reports, test results, collateral contact information, and other relevant documents.

Domestic Violence assessments are for abusive or violent behavior involving intimate partners. In that assessment, we determine whether intervention is needed, and if so, what method would be best to promote behavioral change and protect victims. 

The process for Anger/Aggression evaluations is similar to Domestic Violence assessments, but is reserved for situations involving abusive or violent behavior not related to intimate partners.

Mental Health evaluations are conducted in order to establish whether mental health treatment is necessary.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INTERVENTION

We provide Domestic Violence Intervention services via Zoom in accordance with Washington Administrative Code 388-60B. DV Intervention focuses on helping the client change their behavior while promoting victim safety. 

Compassionate accountability is the foundation of our service.  In the difficult process of behavioral change, clients should be treated with respect and understanding. 

A satisfactory treatment outcome is one where the client recognizes the factors behind their abusive and/or violent behavior, shows significant progress in changing thought and behavior patterns, and stops the behavior.  This outcome is most likely to be achieved with trauma informed, cognitive-behavioral treatment.

ANGER/AGGRESSION INTERVENTION

Anger/Aggression Intervention focuses on changing underlying thoughts and environmental triggers that lead to anger and aggressive behavior. Our clients learn how to change their thought patterns and control their emotional responses that can lead to reactive behavior.
