SCID-D Assessments & Consultation
The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Dissociative Disorders (SCID-D; Steinberg, 1994, 2023) is an interactive, semi-structured clinical interview designed to assess dissociative symptoms and dissociative disorders in both adults and adolescents. The interview is grounded in Dr. Marlene Steinberg’s Five Component Model of Dissociation, which evaluates five core domains: amnesia, depersonalization, derealization, identity confusion, and identity alteration.
The SCID-D is widely regarded as the gold standard for the clinical assessment of dissociative symptoms and disorders, supported by more than three decades of empirical research and clinical application.
Marin and Sara are trained to administer the SCID-D and offer consultation regarding dissociative symptom assessment and diagnostic clarification. The assessment process involves a comprehensive clinical interview designed to carefully evaluate the presence, severity, and patterns of dissociative experiences.
Because regulations governing psychological assessment and diagnostic services vary by jurisdiction, individuals interested in a SCID-D evaluation are encouraged to contact Marin or Sara directly to discuss whether this assessment is appropriate for their needs, including questions related to eligibility, licensing considerations, and scheduling.
Additional information about the SCID-D interview process is available upon request. Please reach out to Marin or Sara for details regarding assessment procedures, consultation options, and current fee structures.

Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID) Consultation
The Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID; developed by Paul F. Dell) is a comprehensive self-report assessment designed to evaluate a wide range of dissociative symptoms and identity-related experiences in adolescents and adults. The instrument assesses multiple dimensions of dissociation, including depersonalization, derealization, amnesia, identity confusion, identity alteration, and other trauma-related dissociative phenomena.
The MID is widely used in both clinical and research settings to support differential diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly when dissociative disorders are suspected. Its detailed scoring structure allows clinicians to identify patterns of dissociation that may be consistent with conditions such as **Dissociative Identity Disorder, Other Specified Dissociative Disorder, and other trauma-related dissociative presentations. The assessment generates clinically interpretable profiles that can help clarify symptom organization, dissociative subtype features, and internal system dynamics.
Marin and Sara offer consultation services related to the MID, including administration guidance, interpretation of results, and integration of findings into trauma-informed clinical care. Consultation may be particularly helpful for clinicians seeking support in understanding MID score profiles, evaluating dissociative symptom patterns, or integrating results with other clinical interviews and assessment tools.
Because professional regulations and the scope of assessment services vary by location, individuals and clinicians interested in MID consultation are encouraged to contact Marin or Sara directly to determine whether this service is appropriate for their needs.
For additional information about the MID consultation process, interpretation services, and associated fees, please contact Marin or Sara.

Clinical Supervision for Limited License Counselors (Michigan)
Sara and Marin offer clinical supervision services to Limited License Professional Counselors (LLPCs) in Michigan who are working toward full licensure as Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs). Supervision is designed to support developing clinicians in building strong clinical judgment, ethical practice, and competency in evidence-based mental health treatment.
Supervision with Sara and Marin focuses on helping counselors integrate clinical theory, trauma-informed care, and practical therapeutic skills into their work with clients. Areas of emphasis may include case conceptualization, diagnostic formulation, treatment planning, ethical decision-making, documentation practices, and professional identity development. Supervision also provides space to process clinical challenges, strengthen therapeutic presence, and develop confidence in complex clinical situations.
Sara and Marin have particular interest and experience in trauma, dissociation, complex PTSD, and related clinical presentations, and supervision may include consultation around working with highly complex or trauma-affected clients. However, supervision is appropriate for clinicians across a wide range of treatment settings and client populations.
Supervision is available in individual and small-group formats, depending on the supervisee's needs and current availability. All supervision services are structured to meet Michigan licensing requirements for Limited License counselors pursuing full LPC licensure.
Prospective supervisees are encouraged to reach out to Sara or Marin to discuss availability, supervision structure, expectations, and current fees. An initial consultation can help determine whether the supervision relationship is a good fit for the counselor’s professional development goals.
