The primary distinction between our services lies in the goal of the relationship. Professional Counseling is a confidential, therapeutic process dedicated to your personal healing and growth, while Forensic Assessment is an objective, evidence-based evaluation conducted to answer specific legal questions for the court. Expert Testimony serves a separate function entirely, acting as an educational bridge to help judges and juries understand complex clinical findings. Because these roles carry vastly different ethical obligations regarding confidentiality and advocacy, we maintain strict boundaries to ensure the integrity of both your treatment and your legal case.
