I am also known as Dr. Art on the internet and by the families and children I work with.

About Me
I am a licensed mental health clinician.

I am a member of several professional associations, including the Association for the Treatment and Training in the Attachment of Children (www.ATTACh.org) and serve as chair of their Registration Committee for clinical and agency members.

I am licensed in several of the United States and have achieved Dipolmate status with the American Board of Psychological Specialities in Child Psychology and Forensic Psychology. I am a Diplomate of the American College of Forensic Examiners. I am also a Registered Clinician with the Association for the Treatment and Training in the Attachment of Children.

As Director for the Center for Family Development (www.Center4FamilyDevelop.com) I provide evaluations and treatment for families, focusing on those with histories of early maltreatment, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and related conditions. I work extensively with a number of Child Welfare agencies through out the U.S., Canada, and overseas providing training, consultation, and evaluations. I am often called upon to testify as an expert witness in court proceeding regarding the evaluation and treatment of children and other mental health matters across the United States.

I provide professional training workshops and programs for therapists, mental health clinics, school systems, residential treatment centers, and governmental agencies in the United States, Canada, and overseas.

I have published a number of articles in professional peer-reviewed journals on a variety of topics:

Drug Abuse Treatment

Adolescent Drug Abuse

Reactive attachment disorder

Complex post-traumatic stress disorder

Effective treatment for children and teens with complex trauma who have histories of chronic maltreatment

It is often more useful to indicate specific statements that need references, by tagging those statements with, which can be placed in the same place you would place an inline reference.
