Dr. Catherine Harris
Chino Hills, CA 91709
I am a licensed psychologist with specialized expertise in forensic, correctional, and clinical psychology. My practice focuses on the evaluation of complex psychological, neurocognitive, and behavioral conditions, including traumatic brain injury, severe mental illness, cognitive impairment, psychological trauma, and disability-related claims.
I earned both my M.A. and Psy.D. in Forensic Psychology from Alliant International University. My professional background includes extensive work within state hospitals and correctional systems, where I developed specialized expertise in competency evaluations, criminal responsibility assessments, disability evaluations, and the management of complex psychiatric presentations. These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation in conducting objective, evidence-based psychological assessments in high-stakes environments.
I regularly perform comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations involving traumatic brain injury, cognitive disorders, psychological injury, and other complex mental health conditions. My experience in institutional and correctional settings has also provided advanced training in assessing symptom validity, malingering, response bias, and the functional impact of psychological and neurocognitive impairments.
In the medicolegal setting, I conduct Qualified Medical Evaluations (QME), Agreed Medical Evaluations (AME), and Independent Medical Examinations (IME). I am frequently retained in matters involving psychological causation, disability, impairment, traumatic brain injury, psychological trauma, and future treatment needs. My evaluations integrate clinical interviews, psychometric testing, record review, and evidence-based analysis to produce clear, comprehensive, and well-supported reports that assist attorneys, insurers, and triers of fact in resolving complex psychological and neurocognitive issues.
