Sex Specific Mental Health Evaluations

Note: Beginning in 2021, Candice will only perform evaluations on a case-by-case basis for pre-sentencing cases to allow her to focus more on the demand for her to provide education, training, and consultation to parents and professionals who evaluate legally involved neurodivergent adults.

I provide Sex Specific Forensic/Mental Health Evaluations for individuals who have been charged with non-contact(no “hands-on”) on the case and the mental health, complex trauma, military-based trauma, and/or neurological issues that are present.

NOTE: I do not perform psychosexual evaluations. I am often hired before, during or after a psychosexual evaluation to rule out any of the above factors.
