Working at the Intersection of Mental Health and the Law
| Expertise |
Our doctors are all Licensed Clinical Psychologists from APA approved programs and have multiple credentials in the field of Forensic Psychology, such as post-doctoral fellowships and board certifications. Our evaluations and testimony have been extensively cited in Appellate and Supreme Court decisions of the Commonwealth of Virginia. |
| Experience & Objectivity |
FPA has been in practice since 1994, and our doctors have collectively provided assessments on almost 10,000 cases and testified hundreds of times. We are proud of our reputation for providing fair, ethical, and honest assessments and recognize that our opinions can have a profound impact upon peoples' lives and the justice system. |
| Ease of Communication |
Legal matters can be urgent. Our dedicated and experienced support staff will quickly answer your question or rapidly contact a doctor to call you back to ensure a prompt response to your questions. |
| Outpatient Services | We maintain spacious offices that are comfortable and private for both assessments and therapy. Our state-of-the-art psychological test lab and specialized psychosexual lab make it possible to complete all phases of the assessment/treatment process in one place. |
| Mobility |
Transporting criminal defendants from a jail to a doctor's office can be expensive and a security risk. Our psychologists travel to jails, prisons, psychiatric hospitals, and group homes within an approximately 100 mile radius to provide on-site services. |
