Expert Evaluations

The practice is led by two forensic psychologists who evaluate people involved in legal cases and answer the specific questions raised by attorneys and courts. It also consults with attorneys and other mental health professionals. Forensic referrals, including immigration assessments, come through the person's attorney or a court representative, and because these assessments are not medically necessary, insurance does not cover them and the referring party pays.

The practice also offers general behavioral health assessments, with psychological testing as needed, to guide treatment decisions or answer questions about a person's functioning. It conducts threat assessments and builds risk management plans for schools, employers and law enforcement, and gives presentations on forensic topics to clinicians, attorneys, police and educators. Assessments take place at the second-floor Columbus office or, when appropriate, by encrypted video.
