A forensic psychological evaluation is an objective assessment conducted to answer a specific legal or court-related question. Unlike therapy, the focus is not treatment; it is to provide clear, evidence-based opinions that can assist attorneys, courts, or other decision-makers.
Forensic evaluations are objective and not treatment-focused. The evaluator does not serve in a therapeutic role and does not advocate for one side. Instead, the goal is to help answer a legal question by providing a well-reasoned, unbiased opinion based on multiple sources of data.
Our evaluations are methodical, detailed, and grounded in multiple sources of data. Our expert psychologists go beyond surface-level conclusions, carefully integrating records, testing, interviews, and contextual factors to provide clear, well-supported opinions that are meaningful and usable in legal settings.
The process varies, but it typically includes a clinical interview, review of records, standardized psychological testing, and collateral interviews. All data are carefully integrated into a clear, comprehensive report that addresses the specific legal and/or clinical question.
You don’t have to do this alone. Healing is possible and we’d be honored to support you.
