Review of Expert Reports/Opinions
Expert reports and opinions vary in quality and comprehensiveness. NCPC professionals will review the work of other mental health professionals and offer analysis of the work product based upon quality and adherence to guidelines and industry standards in that expert’s area of specialty.

The psychologists at NCPC are uniquely qualified to offer expert testimony to the court based on years of experience and a reputation of excellence. Their education, experience, and expertise in issues of attachment, child development, parent-child relationships, mental health needs, parenting style, and adjustment issues post-separation provides the Court, attorneys, and families with empirically-based knowledge to help make sound decisions for the best interests of all.
Consultation to the Professional
NCPC’s specialists offer expertise to mental health and legal professionals in the areas of parenting coordination, psychological assessments, parenting plans, divorce-related issues, and associated child development concerns.
Parenting Coordination
Parenting Coordination (PC) is a process that helps parents resolve disputes and learn how to protect their children from the harmful effects of chronic exposure to parental conflict. When parents need an objective expert to help them implement the parenting tools they need to promote constructive decision-making, a PC will help ensure that children’s needs are met.
