At Total Care Psychiatry, we offer a range of forensic services designed to provide expert psychiatric evaluations and treatment for adults involved in legal proceedings. Our team, led by Dr. Lee, is committed to delivering comprehensive and objective assessments to support the legal process and ensure that individuals receive the necessary mental health care
Criminal Responsibility Evaluations
We conduct thorough evaluations to determine whether an individual was legally responsible for their actions at the time of the alleged offense, based on the state’s statute. Our assessments are based on a detailed review of the case, clinical interviews, and psychological testing to provide a clear and evidence-based opinion.
Competence to Stand Trial Evaluations
Our team evaluates whether an individual is competent to stand trial. This involves assessing the individual’s ability to understand the legal proceedings, communicate with their attorney, and make informed decisions about their defense. We provide comprehensive reports and testimony to assist the court in making informed decisions.
Aid to Sentencing Evaluations
We offer aid to sentencing evaluations to help the court understand the mental health factors that may have influenced an individual’s behavior. Our assessments provide insights into the individual’s current mental state, risk of reoffending, and potential for rehabilitation, aiding the court in determining an appropriate sentence.
Fitness for Duty Evaluations
We conduct fitness for duty evaluations to determine whether an individual is mentally and emotionally capable of performing their job responsibilities. These evaluations are often required for individuals in high-stress or safety-sensitive positions and can help employers make informed decisions about an employee’s fitness to return to work.
Psychiatric Evaluations and Treatment
We provide psychiatric evaluations and treatment for individuals facing court hearings who require mental health services before and after a court-ordered evaluation. Our goal is to ensure that these individuals receive the necessary care to support their mental health and well-being throughout the legal process.
