Getting started is easy. You can book an evaluation online at calendly.com/intake-thassociatesllc or call us at (540) 358-0423 (main) or (202) 503-9006 (intake). We'll schedule your evaluation appointment, explain what to expect, and answer any questions. We offer telehealth evaluations statewide, and in-person appointments are available at our Alexandria office if you prefer. Your choice—whatever works best for you.

Most court-ordered evaluations take 60-90 minutes to complete. This includes the clinical interview, assessment tools, and time for questions. More complex evaluations (such as comprehensive substance use assessments) may take up to 2 hours. If a follow-up appointment is needed, we'll schedule that based on your case. We'll let you know the expected time when you schedule.

We guarantee 7-10 business day turnaround from your evaluation appointment to completed report delivery. If you have an urgent court date, let us know—we offer rush options for time-sensitive cases. Reports are thorough, professional, and accepted by courts.

That's okay—we can help you figure it out. When you call or book online, we'll ask about your court requirements or legal situation and recommend the appropriate evaluation (DUI/DWI, substance use, anger management, or domestic violence). If you have paperwork from your attorney or the court, have it ready when you contact us, and we'll make sure you get exactly what's required.

Most insurance plans do not cover court-ordered evaluations, as they are considered forensic (legal) services rather than treatment. However, we offer flexible payment options including payment plans, and accept major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and cash payments. Follow-up appointments, if needed, may be included in your initial evaluation fee or offered at an additional cost depending on the complexity of your case. Our fees are competitive and transparent—we'll provide exact pricing when you schedule. Call (540) 358-0423 to discuss payment options.

We provide comprehensive court-ordered evaluations including:

• DUI/DWI evaluations

• Substance use assessments (ASAM criteria)

• Anger management evaluations

• Domestic violence assessments

• Return-to-work evaluations

• Behavioral assessments for court

• Follow-up appointments (if clinically necessary)

All evaluations are conducted by Dr. Tierra Hereford (DSW, LCSW, LICSW, CAIMPH), whose credentials are accepted by courts. Reports meet legal and court standards. Evaluations are available via tele-health statewide or in-person at our Alexandria office.

Court-ordered evaluations have limited confidentiality. The evaluation and report are prepared specifically for the court, your attorney, or the referring agency, and will be shared with those parties. Information you provide during the evaluation may be included in the written report submitted to the court. We'll explain confidentiality limits clearly before your evaluation begins. Your privacy is protected under applicable laws, but the results are not confidential from the court or legal parties involved in your case.
