Psychological assessment and forensic consultation for New York
When the diagnosis is unclear or the decision matters.
Why MNY?
Conflicting diagnoses
Treatment that has stalled
A legal matter requiring an independent psychological opinion
Maxwell NewYork provides psychological assessment, second opinions, and forensic consultation for adults, clinicians, and attorneys in New York City and throughout New York State. Led by Dr. Reed Maxwell, a psychologist board-certified in Clinical Psychology, the service focuses on complex diagnostic questions and how psychological findings can inform treatment and other important decisions.
What can MNY provide?
Comprehensive assessment and second opinions
An evaluation can help clarify symptoms, reconsider an existing diagnosis, or explain difficulties that have persisted despite treatment. Areas of focus include personality functioning, mood and anxiety concerns, trauma-related symptoms, and adult ADHD and autism.
The process begins with the question you need answered. Interviews, records review, and psychological testing are selected to address that question, with findings explained in clear, practical terms.
For treating professionals
Refer an adult patient for diagnostic clarification, personality assessment, or consultation on a difficult clinical presentation. With the patient’s authorization, Dr. Maxwell can coordinate with the treating clinician and offer findings and recommendations that support ongoing care.
For attorneys
Independent evaluation, psychological records review, and consultation for criminal, civil, and immigration matters. Each engagement begins with a review of the referral question, relevant deadlines, and the methods needed to address the assignment.
A New York connection
Dr. Maxwell earned his doctorate at Binghamton University, completed his internship at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and completed postdoctoral work and additional clinical training at Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University. He is licensed in New York and previously provided psychotherapy and assessment in New York City.
Access from wherever you are in New York
Dr. Maxwell is based in Kansas City and provides telepsychological and tele-assessment services to New York residents. The suitability of remote assessment and any need for in-person services are discussed before an evaluation is scheduled.
