Forensic Psychology

Forensic psychology involves the application of psychological theories, methods, and practices to various matters within the judicial system. Dr. Mikesell’s forensic practice focuses on the relevant psycholegal question(s) for a particular case and then applies his expertise on the science and practice of psychology through the form of record review, attorney consultation, neuropsychological or psychological testing, production of a professional report and, if needed, expert testimony. Dr. Mikesell’s expertise in developmental, clinical, neuropsychological and rehabilitation psychology places him in a somewhat unique position to address a wide variety of psycholegal matters and to synthesize and integrate the nested complexities inherent in many cases. In doing so, Dr. Mikesell strives to provide an objective, independent, evidence-based approach to all cases, consultations, evaluations, reports and testimony.

Dr. Mikesell is Board Certified in Forensic Psychology by the American Board of Forensic Psychology (ABFP/ABPP).
