Welcome to Steven M. Hirsch, Ph.D.
Welcome and thank you for visiting the website of Steven M. Hirsch, Ph.D., a licensed San Diego clinical psychologist and qualified medical evaluator with more than 35 years of professional experience. My dedication to excellence places a premium on empiricism, transparency and up-to-date knowledge of the profession to ensure that the clinical evaluations or forensic services you receive are of the highest quality. I am a leading expert of medical-legal and chemical dependency evaluation and treatment. My evaluations are very helpful to direct the patient to an appropriate treatment center and to recommend the best level of care. I am committed to providing objective quality substance abuse evaluations in high-conflict custody cases. I utilize proven, evidenced based clinical and psychoeducational evaluation approaches within a caring and confidential environment.


A comprehensive psychological evaluation is a process of gathering information using specific standardized tests, interviews, review of records, and consultation with other professionals to arrive at therapy and treatment recommendations; and referral suggestions tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual. A forensic psychologist provides sentencing recommendations, treatment recommendations and any other information the judge requests, such as information regarding mitigating factors, assessment of future risk and evaluation of witness credibility. I have extensive experience in working with attorneys who specialize in a wide variety of the law including: Family Law, Workers’ Compensation, Disability, Criminal Law, Immigration Law and Personal Injury. I provide effective, compelling and credible Expert Testimony which can be invaluable in helping you present your case and to provide strong advocacy for your client.
