Our practice
|
Kuhlman Psychology and Consulting was established to provide quality therapeutic and evaluation services, aimed at serving public safety professionals. We recognize that individuals in these jobs are confronted on an almost daily basis with stressors that often add up to be incredibly traumatic. It can be difficult to find providers that understand the complexities of these jobs, and we strive to fill that gap. Additionally, we provide a number of evaluation services, many also serving public safety and high-stress jobs, such as fitness-for-duty evaluations and disability evaluations. In a similar interest, we strive to increase public safety by working with school districts, universities, and corporations on workplace violence prevention and threat assessment. Lastly, we provide a variety of specialized forensic evaluations.
