Capabilities
Founded thirty years ago by Dr. N. G. Berrill, NY Forensic specializes in providing comprehensive psycho-legal services to those involved in the criminal justice system as well as those agencies responsible for law enforcement, offender management, attorneys(both defense and prosecution), and the courts. We offer a wide-range of diagnostic and treatment services as well as psychological, neuropsychological, and sex offender-specific treatment (e.g., clinical polygraphy, actuarial risk assessment, and psycho-pharmacological intervention) to address the needs of our referral sources as well our patients.
NY Forensic has provided high-caliber services to a patient population which most practices shy away from, i.e., violent offenders, sex offenders, and neurologically impaired patients. Further, a large percentage of our patients are mandated by the court for treatment. As such, we have a unique understanding of the interface between providing mental health services, working with the court, and working with a wide-range of legal and law-enforcement professionals.
