Forensic neuropsychological evaluations are typically requested when there is a reason to believe that brain injury and/or deficits in one's thinking ability may play a role in an individual's functioning relevant to a legal question or circumstance.
Forensic Neuropsychological Assessment
Forensic psychology is the application of the science and practice of psychology to the field of law and the legal system. A forensic psychological assessment is conducted to evaluate psychological functioning in order to assist the trier-of-fact in making a legal decision.

A Clinical Neuropsychologist is a psychologist specially trained in the science of brain-behavior relationships. A neuropsychological assessment involves the evaluation of cognitive abilities and psychiatric functioning using a battery of standardized assessment measures.

Dr. Chriscelyn Tussey
is a Board-Certified Forensic Psychologist through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). In addition to being one of a small group of forensic psychologists in the United States with this distinction, she is one of far fewer psychologists who has completed a postdoctoral fellowship in forensic psychology and a separate fellowship in clinical neuropsychology.
