Forensic consultation is a one-on-one or small group opportunity to "tune up" professional skills, review and expand methods and measures, broaden empirical foundations, and/or gain perspective on a particular child or family matter.

Forensic consultation can occur on an ad hoc or continuing basis and can be conducted in person or via remote video platforms. Consultation can be conveniently offered to small groups in association with Dr. Garber's large group trainings.

Dr. Garber provides forensic consultation to mental health professionals, Guardians ad litem, attorneys, judicial officers, and the courts.

Consultation is NOT supervision. As a prerequisite to providing consultation, Dr. Garber will provide participants with a Service Agreement (SA) detailing the nature and limitations of the service. The SA will clarify that Dr. Garber cannot accept responsibility for participants' professional decisions.

Consultation and expert witness services are generally not mutually compatible. To learn more about the distinction between the two services and which might best suit your particular needs, click the UNSURE? button at left.
