- Assess risk factors, impulse control, behavioral stability, and overall suitability
- Review client history and supporting documentation
- Prepare concise, high-quality written reports for legal use
- Collaborate with attorneys to ensure evaluations align with case strategy
- Maintain consistent, objective, and professional documentation standards

- Comfortable working in a structured, performance-oriented environment
- Efficient and able to maintain consistent throughput without sacrificing quality
- Compensation & Benefits

- Performance-based incentives (total compensation can exceed $200K+)
- No insurance billing or administrative overhead
- Dedicated administrative support
- Predictable schedule (no nights, no weekends required)
- Professional autonomy within a structured system
- Why This Role Stands Out

- No therapy burnout or long-term caseload management
- Streamlined workflow with administrative support
- Opportunity to operate at the intersection of psychology and law
- Clear expectations and measurable performance
