A local psychologist who is often called on by local courts to give advice on child custody decisions is back in business.

WAVY.com first told you earlier this week the Virginia Psychology Board indefinitely suspended Dr. Brian Wald for inappropriate relations with a client.

But a trip to court changed that. The Judge basically overruled the Psychology Board, allowing Dr. Wald to go back to work until the matter is settled in court in September. The Judge set several conditions: Wald must take an ethics course, he must continue his own therapy, he must have supervision during clinical cases and he is prohibited from participating in parental custody cases in Norfolk.

Here is a video of the local newscast.
