I do not have any advertising—or affiliate links—on the site. I have devoted over 1,500 hours to this website over the past 10 years.
I would like to continue to publish this website, including improving the layout, design, and usability. But I cannot afford to spend much time on the site because it takes time away from earning a living. But your donations will help me keep the site going and improving it.
So, if you "Buy a Coffee" for me, I'll get to work! Many thanks - Mark
IMPORTANT! → If you are now or ever have been my patient or client, I cannot accept your donation as it would violate state law and I could lose my license. Therefore, please do NOT donate if you have ever been my patient or client, i.e., if you have ever seen me for psychotherapy or a psychological evaluation (including C&P exams). Thank you.
