Dr. Eric Bernstein is a consummate professional who is most regarded for his forensic work in child custody and child protective services domains. He has been appointed by Family and Juvenile Court for over a thousand cases in Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Centre, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Washington, and Westmoreland counties as well as in West Virginia and most recently in Ohio. As an expert, Dr. Bernstein recognizes the tremendous responsiblity of providing quality and ethical care to clients.
Custody disputes can be very scary for children and parents. When it seems as if there is no way to resolve the differences, consider that by having a custody evaluation the Court is given new and more full perspective about the psychological needs of the child(ren). Dr. Bernstein recognizes the importance of guiding the Court in making decisions for those parents who otherwise are unable to resolve their differences.
Not only does Dr. Bernstein hold himself to a high standard but also those within his profession. If forensic work has been completed and if you are particularly dissatisfied with the way in which the evaluation has been conducted, Dr. Bernstein is able to offer perspective and critique. Even with the best intentions, there are those professionals who unknowingly overlook important data or develop opinions on misinformation.
I invite you to contact my office should you need any support. In addition to performing evaluations for the Court, I also maintain a full time private practice in which I conduct individual, couples, and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.
