Contact

For referrals, peer consultation, supervision inquiries, or research questions: (321) 295-1200 or owner@drsashasioni.com

Please do not send health information or records by email. Referrals start with the patient's own secure inquiry. After intake, I request records with the patient's authorization.

Referral fit

A few brief criteria to help you assess whether a referral is appropriate.

Good fit

  • Stable enough for outpatient weekly or biweekly cadence
  • Florida-located adults or couples
  • Problematic-gaming presentations (with or without comorbidities)
  • Personality disorder presentations needing pattern-focused outpatient work
  • RMHCI seeking clinical supervision (individual as available; the Orlando group is not running right now)

Out of scope

  • Active imminent risk requiring crisis stabilization
  • Psychotic disorders requiring medication management or hospital-level care
  • Substance use detox or intensive outpatient (IOP)
  • Court-mandated treatment with documentation requirements I cannot meet
  • Out-of-state clients (I currently practice only in Florida)

Evaluation referrals

Each evaluation uses a clinical interview, validated rating scales, and review of records the client authorizes. Reports and summaries are shared with you only with the client's signed authorization.

ADHD evaluation

Adults and teens 12+. $1,295 for the diagnostic evaluation; $1,695 with accommodation documentation. The client receives a written summary for the prescriber within one week of the last session. I do not prescribe.

Bariatric pre-surgical evaluation

$450. With the patient's signed authorization, a clinical summary with a clearance recommendation goes to the surgical team within 3 to 5 business days of the evaluation session. Some programs and insurers require a psychiatrist or licensed clinical psychologist, so please confirm that your program accepts an evaluation from an LMHC.

Disability and workplace evaluations

FMLA certification, ADA accommodation letters, and private STD/LTD documentation. $350 to $1,000, depending on the type. Social Security (SSI/SSDI) evaluations are not offered. Attorneys can request my evaluation methods, instrument list, and CV before referring. The disability page explains who accepts documentation from a licensed mental health counselor.

Evaluations: virtual by default; in-person testing components arranged when an exam or instrument requires them. These are self-pay prices. Patients with Original Medicare or a plan I am in network with should ask before they schedule, because some parts may need to be billed to their plan.

How to refer

  1. Ask the patient to send a secure inquiry through drsashasioni.com/request/ and choose the service. The patient's own inquiry starts the process.
  2. To coordinate or ask a question first, call (321) 295-1200.
  3. Please do not send records or health information before intake. After intake, I request the records I need with the patient's authorization.

Research and scholarship

Active scholarly interests: gaming disorder, internet gaming disorder, behavioral health integration in primary care, and population approaches to behavioral health. Peer-reviewed work includes internet gaming disorder (Computers in Human Behavior, 2017), a scoping-review protocol on digital behavioral addictions (PLOS ONE, 2026), and integrated care-management outcomes (Health Services Research, 2026). Full list on the publications page.

Open to academic collaborations and student or postdoctoral consultation requests within scope. Email owner@drsashasioni.com with Research in the subject line, and please leave out health information.

Consultation and referrals

For peer consultation or to discuss a potential referral, call (321) 295-1200. Patients send their own secure inquiry. For supervision (RMHCI), send a secure inquiry and choose Clinical supervision (RMHCI). I'll respond as availability allows.
