ForenPsych: Forensic Psychological Evaluations

ForenPsych is a private practice specializing in forensic psychological evaluations, consultation, and testimony. We conduct evaluations for criminal and civil cases.

We are committed to providing objective and reliable forensic opinions based on science, clinical experience, and applicability to the law. Every case is unique and is driven by the referral question. Careful attention is given to each referral in order to accurately answer the specific psycho-legal matter in question.

ForenPsych prides itself on it's objectivity and expertise. Our utmost goal is to educate and provide attorneys and courts with relevant information and opinions to help clarify legal matters. After conducting a thorough evaluation, we provide a clear, readable, and referral oriented report in a findings-based format. Expert witness testimony is also provided when needed.

While typically in person, evaluations can also be conducted virtually if needed.
