About Hendrix Forensic Psychology
Hendrix Forensic Psychology was founded on the principle that psychological insight should bring clarity, context, and humanity to legal decision-making.
The legal system often requires structured answers to complex human behavior. Our practice exists to provide objective, methodologically sound forensic evaluations that assist courts and legal professionals in understanding the psychological, developmental, and cultural factors that influence behavior.
We approach every case with neutrality, precision, and respect for the seriousness of legal proceedings. At the same time, we recognize that behavior does not occur in isolation. Trauma history, environmental stressors, systemic inequities, mental illness, substance use, and cultural identity all shape individual functioning. Our role is to thoughtfully examine these factors and present findings in a clear, balanced, and clinically supported manner.
Hendrix Forensic Psychology is particularly committed to serving underserved and justice-involved populations whose psychosocial histories are often complex and insufficiently understood within legal contexts. We strive to ensure that evaluations reflect the full human story while maintaining professional objectivity.
Our work stands at the intersection of psychology and the law — where careful assessment, ethical responsibility, and cultural responsiveness meet.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide objective, culturally informed, and clinically rigorous forensic psychological services that bridge the gap between mental health and the legal system.
We are committed to delivering thorough and evidence-based evaluations that assist courts, attorneys, and legal professionals in understanding the psychological, developmental, and contextual factors that influence human behavior.
Vision
Our vision is to ensure that every person involved in the legal system is treated as a human being first—through culturally relevant, responsive, and trauma-informed psychological services.
We strive to advance a legal process that recognizes the role of culture, systemic barriers, developmental history, trauma exposure, and mental illness in shaping behavior. Hendrix Forensic Psychology envisions a system where psychological expertise contributes not only to accountability, but also to fairness, dignity, and informed decision-making.
Core Values
Human Dignity
We treat all individuals with respect, recognizing the inherent worth of every person regardless of legal status or life circumstances.
Cultural Responsiveness
We are committed to culturally competent practice that considers race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, community context, and systemic inequities when evaluating behavior.
Clinical Integrity
We uphold the highest standards of psychological ethics, objectivity, and evidence-based practice in all evaluations and consultations.
Equity in Access
We are dedicated to serving underserved and marginalized populations whose voices are often underrepresented within legal systems.
Collaboration & Clarity
We provide clear, well-reasoned, and professionally written reports that assist legal decision-makers in understanding complex psychological issues.
Accountability & Responsibility
We recognize the importance of balancing compassion with responsibility, ensuring that evaluations are fair, impartial, and grounded in professional standards.

Dr. Hendrix currently serves full-time with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (DMH), where she works with individuals experiencing serious mental illness within complex legal and community systems. Her work within the nation’s largest public mental health system has provided extensive experience conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations, collaborating across multidisciplinary teams, and addressing the clinical and legal needs of underserved and justice-involved populations.
Her professional training spans a range of clinical, correctional, and community-based settings. She has worked with both adults and youth in community mental health programs and forensic environments. Early in her career, she served as a Lead Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist with California Psychcare, developing specialized experience working with children with cognitive, intellectual, and behavioral disabilities.
During her doctoral training, Dr. Hendrix completed clinical rotations at Saint Mary’s High School (school counseling), Twin Towers Correctional Facility (providing individual and group therapy to incarcerated individuals in the MIST program), and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Vital Intervention and Directional Alternatives (VIDA) program serving at-risk youth. She completed her predoctoral residency at Gateways Inpatient Hospital and Mental Health Center and her postdoctoral residency with Los Angeles County DMH’s Women’s Community Reintegration Services and Education Center (WCRSEC), where she worked closely with justice-involved women transitioning back into the community.
Dr. Hendrix is an LPS-designated clinician and has provided countywide field-based psychiatric services to individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. She has extensive experience working with incarcerated adults presenting with complex psychiatric conditions, trauma histories, and co-occurring substance use disorders. She is also certified in Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk.
Dr. Hendrix is deeply committed to bridging the gap between psychology and the law through culturally competent, trauma-informed evaluation and consultation. She is particularly passionate about serving underserved and marginalized communities whose psychosocial histories are often insufficiently understood within legal contexts. Her work emphasizes helping legal decision-makers better understand how culture, developmental experiences, trauma exposure, systemic inequities, and mental health conditions intersect with behavior and legal involvement.
Her forensic interests include youthful offender evaluations, competency to stand trial, mental health diversion, and court-involved individuals with complex trauma and co-occurring disorders. She maintains active membership in the American Psychology-Law Society.
