About
Steven Hirsch, Ph.D.
The cornerstone of my service, which distinguishes me from others, is my training, experience, integrity, insight, skill and dependability. I am a recognized expert at evaluations of chemical dependency problems and highly skilled at providing accurate and objective substance abuse evaluations in difficult custody cases. Another area of specialization involves my medical-legal services to individuals who are injured through the California Workers Compensation system. I conduct fair-minded Qualified Medical Evaluations and Agreed Medical Evaluations for injured workers. My medical-legal knowledge allows me to provide expert forensic witness services and case review of psychological injuries in a variety of legal situations. I also assess adults and children who are struggling educationally or in life where an effective psychological assessment can provide answers to understand your strengths and weakness and to make cutting edge diagnostic decisions. The heart of my evaluation is the recommendations which are tailored to you or your childs unique strengths and needs so that challenges can be overcome.

Psychologists use different assessment procedures, or combination of procedures, depending upon the reason for the evaluation. Generally, psychologists evaluation procedures fall into the following categories. Standardized tests: Used to compare an individuals performance to an appropriate peer group. Rating scales: Which assess the presence or frequency of certain behaviors. Self-Report scales: The patient is often asked to rate the presence or frequency of their own behavior. Observations: Psychologists can gather important information by directly observing what a patient is doing and how others in the setting interact with him or her. Interviews: Direct face to face interviews provide valuable information in the evaluation process and interviews with other professional involved in the case often provide helpful information to accurately diagnose what the issues are. Comprehensive Evaluation report: Diagnosis, therapy, referral and treatment recommendations are provided in a detailed written report which brings together and integrates in a compelling manner all the information from the above described evaluation procedures.
