I am the co-founder of Incest Resources, Inc., the first survivor organization in the country, and I am a licensed psychologist, educator, and author who has written extensively on childhood sexual abuse and recovery. Screening interviews are generally scheduled during May, June, and July. The cost of the screening interview is $80.00, payable at the time of the visit. The cost of the twenty-session group is $800.00, payable in halves by August 1st and January 1st. It is not possible to make other payment arrangements for the group, and it is not possible to use insurance for the group. Also, the fee can not be adjusted to accommodate absences, so commitment is very important. Depending upon the final number and make-up of the group, I am sometimes able to offer some slides. If you are interested in setting up a screening interview, please call the number above and leave your name, telephone number(s), and the best days and times for me to return your call.
