Evaluations by Toni Cavanagh Johnson Ph.D.
Evaluations are provided on children who have been sexually abused. These evaluations may include and are not limited to: determining the optimal areas to work on in therapy with the child victim and the other family members; getting a better understanding what is going on in the current therapy; understand the family dynamics; and/or develop an overall treatment plan and case plan for the child and family.
Evaluations are available when there are allegations of sexual abuse and assistance is needed to try to determine if abuse has occurred.
Evaluations are available when there have been unsubstantiated allegations of sexual abuse in a divorce/custody case and the court orders the child to be reunited with the parent against whom the allegations were made.
