In concordance with UH-CFP’s academic and professional standards, evaluations rely heavily on state-of-the-art, empirically supported assessments and interviewing techniques. The most current literature and research in the field are utilized to design evaluations that are developmentally appropriate and address the specific questions relevant to each case. UH-CFP holds itself to the highest standards of practice and emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluations that address multiple domains. In this effort, we maintain our role as an objective third party tasked with providing the referring agent a comprehensive and impartial analysis of the relevant issues in each case. Our staff includes Ph.D. level clinical psychologists and advanced doctoral students, who have extensive experience in conducting psychological evaluations in a variety of contexts. |
