About Dr. Van Horn
I am a licensed psychologist based in Colorado, specializing in forensic, immigration, and clinical psychological evaluations. My work is grounded in the belief that thoughtful, well-supported assessments can offer not only answers, but a path forward during times of uncertainty or transition. I approach each evaluation with care, objectivity, and compassion for the individuals and families I serve.
I earned my bachelor’s degree locally at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs and completed my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at Texas Tech University, where I received specialized training in clinical and forensic assessment. Over the course of my career, I have worked in a residential treatment center serving probationers with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, a state psychiatric hospital, a community mental health center, and private group practice settings. I have served as a court-appointed competency evaluator for the state of Colorado and for Lubbock County in Texas. I have also been qualified as an expert and have provided testimony in both jurisdictions. Throughout my work, I have maintained a consistent focus on providing thorough, evidence-based evaluations tailored to each individual’s needs. I am currently licensed as a psychologist in the states of Colorado and Texas.
My experience includes working with justice-involved individuals on probation, clients participating in competency restoration treatment, older adults concerned about cognitive changes, individuals in short-term rehabilitation hospitals, and clients with co-occurring substance use and legal system involvement. I have also provided assessment and treatment services for adolescents and young adults experiencing early-onset psychosis, as well as evaluations for individuals seeking assessment and diagnostic clarification for conditions such as ADHD, dementia, and intellectual disability.
