Our Team
Our team is made up of highly skilled professionals with diverse backgrounds and is led by Senior Principal Consultant, Dr. Derek J. Lee, with a unique specialization within behavioral health focused on suicide consulting, in addition to evaluations and programming. This can range from concierge suicide treatment services to organizational programming.
The team consists of expert consultants with diverse backgrounds, combining research and knowledge with practical experience. Our team prefers to maintain a low profile, but most have a long history of professional relationships and collaboration. We strive to deliver innovative solutions that are tailored to our clients' unique needs, which are as achievable as they are pragmatic.
Our Approach
Few activities require the level of teamwork, coordination, and synchronization as rowing. When done successfully, it is an amazing sight. It is this very spirit of collaboration in consulting that we believe is essential. You have the vision for the goals that you are trying to reach, and we have the expertise to help you get there. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs, as well as their motivations and underlying goals, so that we can develop solutions with you, not just for you. Our goal is to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, while providing the support that you need to thrive on your journey. Ultimately, we like to build long-lasting partnerships that are mutually beneficial.
Our Expertise and Services
Our Approach
We prefer to examine at the whole of the situation even if you have a specific concern which requires a specific, focused solution. Our job is to help you identify blind spots so that the solution does not create other, potentially foreseeable, concerns. We work closely with our clients to understand their goals and challenges and develop solutions that address their specific needs. Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and results driven.

Fees
There is an old saying that people pay attention to price when they should be looking at value, hence the Warren Buffett quote. I once heard a plumber say that they aren't getting paid for the hour they are there, it's the 30 years of experience that is being purchased. The services provided by Psych are truly second to none.
