Dr Grace Graham
 Dr. Grace Graham has been a practicing psychologist for
more than 25 years. Her educational background includes a
pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral residency at Minirth
Meier Clinic in Richardson, Texas, a clinic renowned for its
Christian-based approach to psychology. In addition to her
private practice, Dr. Grace Graham has performed
psychological evaluations for judicial circuit courts.
In judicial actions, a judge has the discretion to determine
whether psychological evaluations are necessary. If a judge
orders an evaluation, a psychologist is appointed by the court
to determine specific psychological or behavioral issues and
make an appropriate recommendation to the court.
 Psychologists working in such capacity are referred to as a
forensic psychologist.
Forensic psychologists may be involved in different roles. The
court appointed forensic psychologist is to objectively
determine the mental health of the identified party. Forensic
psychologist can be hired by independent attorney as a
consulting psychological expert. These psychologists may
advocate on certain issues important to the clients. However,
an ethical forensic psychologist shall not distort the truth
through omissions or subversions. Child custody cases, child
protection cases, and criminal cases are the most common
examples of the types of cases that require psychological
evaluations.
