Forensic Mental Health Evaluations 

Psychosexual Evaluation

A Psychosexual Evaluation is a specialized psychological assessment designed to examine an individual's sexual development, attitudes, behaviors, interests, and potential risk factors related to sexual functioning or misconduct. It is most commonly used in forensic or legal contexts, such as in cases involving sexual offenses, custody disputes, or concerns about sexual boundaries.

Violence Risk Assessment

A Violence Risk Assessment is a structured process used to evaluate the likelihood that an individual may engage in violent behavior, either imminently or overtime. It involves gathering and analyzing information from multiple sources, including clinical interviews, behavioral observations, historical records, and standardized assessment tools. The goal is to identify risk factors—such as past violence, substance abuse, mental health issues, or situational stressors—as well as protective factors that may reduce the potential for harm. 

The goal of the assessment is to assist in making informed decisions about safety planning, treatment interventions, and legal or institutional responses to ensure that risks are managed proactively and ethically.

Competency Evaluation

A Competency Evaluation is an assessment used to determine whether an individual has the mental capacity to understand and participate in legal, professional, educational, or clinical proceedings or tasks. These evaluations are commonly used in legal and clinical settings, and the specifics vary depending on the context.
