D & D Consultants

What D & D Consultants does

D & D Consultants, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned psychological services and consulting firm headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey, founded in 1984 by Steven Dranoff, Ph.D. The company delivers evidence-based psychological evaluation, assessment, intervention, training and forensic services to three primary verticals: K-12 and higher-education institutions, corporate organizations, and the legal system. Its offerings are organized around a 'Four Rooms' platform metaphor — The Conference Room (clinical/individual interventions), The Classroom (the Risky Business Developmental Series for Elementary, Middle School, High School and College students), The Boardroom (organizational assessment, employee selection, leadership training, executive coaching, RESPECT in the Workplace, and culture development), and The Courtroom (forensic mental health assessment, expert witness services, sexual harassment eradication, and a 20-week Anger Management: Changing the Lens program). The underlying technology is interactive video-based content combined with evidence-based psychological assessment instruments, delivering personalized feedback in modular programs.

The business model is professional services delivered through a sales-led, direct-contact go-to-market motion: prospective clients schedule personalized walkthroughs and demos with program directors, pricing is fully quote-based with multi-year contracts, and no public pricing is disclosed. Distribution is regional (North America) and founder/relationship-led, with a small team of 11 named professionals spanning licensed psychologists, program specialists, video production, character illustration, account management and marketing. Revenue streams are unbundled across consulting services, training programs and forensic assessment services, all billed under professional services economics.

The firm carries no external funding, no parent company, no M&A history, no disclosed patents or formal certifications, and no AI/ML capabilities. Its competitive position rests on the founder's 40-year practitioner track record, the credentialed clinical team, and a documented program architecture that has been continuously offered since the mid-1980s. The website copyright remains dated to 2018, a placeholder 'Community Room' vertical has not been built out, and a 'Violence Prevention' module is listed as 'Coming Soon', indicating modest ongoing content development but no material platform investment or expansion in motion.
