Psychology Services

The Psychology Department at CMHIFL consists of doctoral-level psychologists and pre-doctoral interns.  All staff psychologists are licensed in the State of Colorado.  Each treatment team has a full-time or part-time psychologist.  The team psychologists are responsible for performing legally mandated evaluations, including evaluations of all persons admitted to the hospital on 72-hour mental health holds or other involuntary statuses.  The purpose of these evaluations is to determine the need for inpatient treatment, as well as whether such treatment should occur on a voluntary or involuntary basis.  The psychologists also provide testing / assessment including in the areas of dangerousness, neuropsychology, diagnostic clarification and behavioral management planning.  They provide clinical consultation to the multidisciplinary treatment teams, as well as treatment in a variety of modalities.
