Can services be customized for our school or organization?

Absolutely. Every school and organization has unique needs, goals, and challenges. Services can be customized based on your audience, setting, professional development goals, and areas of need. During the initial consultation, we will discuss your goals and develop an approach that is relevant, practical, and meaningful for your team.


Do you provide counseling, assessment or other clinical services?

5

No. While Dr. Johnson is a licensed psychologist, Tree of Life Psychological Services PLLC focuses on professional training, public speaking, and consultations services for schools, districts, and organizations rather than assessment or counseling services.

If assessment, counseling, or other clinical services are needed, Dr. Johnson can provide appropriate referrals and resources to help connect you with qualified providers.


Following the initial complimentary 15-minute consultation, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate and Scope of Work outlining the services recommended, estimated time involved, and associated fees. The Scope of Work and fees will be reviewed and agreed upon before services begin.

Consultation services start at $250 per hour but each requested service is individualized based on need. Time will be tracked throughout the engagement, and hours will be documented and provided to the client. Fees for public speaking engagements and training session fees are based on the time involved in preparation and speaking, along with travel expenses if completed in person. Dr. Johnson is willing to travel as her schedule allows. A proposed rate of service will be provided after the free initial 15 minute consultation. Payment is accepted via Zelle, cash, or check.

Please note that appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed appointments will be charged at the full scheduled rate.
