We specialize in infidelity and personal relationship testing. We understand that trust is the foundation of any relationship. When trust comes into question, it can create significant challenges for couples. Our goal is to help you address those concerns and uncover the truth, so your relationship can heal, thrive, and move forward with confidence.

When conducting infidelity and personal relationship exams, we encourage both parties to share their concerns with the examiner. This allows us to develop a set of questions that address the issues most important to you. However, we also respect your privacy; if you prefer to take a confidential exam without your partner’s knowledge or involvement, that option is always available. Every exam is handled with the utmost confidentiality, and no information will ever be released without your written consent.

In addition to working directly with individuals and couples, we partner with therapists and counselors to help couples navigate their most difficult moments. By working alongside mental health professionals, we offer a comprehensive support system for those dealing with trust, communication, and other relationship challenges.

As members of the American Association of Christian Counselors, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in every exam and interaction. Our commitment is to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental, and professional service to every client, regardless of their background or beliefs.

If you are facing uncertainty in your relationship or personal life, you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re seeking answers for your own peace of mind or working together as a couple, we are here to support you every step of the way. Contact us today to learn more about our services or to schedule a confidential consultation.

THERAPEUTIC POLYGRAPH EXAMS

Polygraph tests in therapy serve as valuable tools to enhance honesty, accountability, and trust in various therapeutic settings. They are used to establish an initial baseline of truthfulness at the start of treatment, helping both clients and therapists understand the level of honesty and set expectations. Periodic testing throughout therapy allows for ongoing verification that clients are following treatment guidelines and maintaining honesty, which can help build trust with partners and support transparency.

In cases involving relationship issues, especially infidelity, Therapeutic Disclosure Testing (TDT) uses polygraphs to verify the accuracy and completeness of disclosures made by unfaithful partners. This process is typically voluntary and guided by a therapist, aiming to rebuild trust and facilitate healing. Polygraphs can also support relapse prevention by acting as a deterrent against high-risk behaviors, encouraging clients to stay committed to honesty.

Beyond relationship issues, polygraph tests can help clients with addiction by revealing the full extent of their behaviors, which is a critical step in recovery. They can also be used to explore sensitive topics like sexual history, providing deeper insights that might not surface through conventional therapy alone. Overall, when used appropriately, polygraph testing can strengthen therapeutic outcomes by promoting transparency, accountability, and trust-building between clients and their partners or therapists.

Pricing, Appointments, and Policy

Pricing varies depending on the situation or reason for the exam. Different people or different business have different needs and there is no one size fits all exam. We provide quality, professional exams to each of our clients. We are not interested in rushing you through a 30 to 45-minute test (if a test takes that minimal amount of time it's not a professional exam). We take time with each of our clients properly preparing them for the examination. Polygraph test Baton Rouge (polygraph test near me) and in Gonzales.

There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" exam. Each exam and technique used must be specific to the situation at hand. You can't just write 4 questions down and hand it to the examiner to ask. The examiner will discuss your situation with you and together come up with questions that would be best for your situation.
