Dr. Aponte is a forensic psychologist and owner of Aponte Forensic Psychology, a specialized practice providing forensic (criminal, civil) psychological evaluations, as well as trial consultation services and education / coaching for attorneys. Areas of assessment include psychopathology, personality, criminal responsibility/mitigation, mental status at the time of offense, competence to stand trial, violence risk, and sexual recidivism risk. She regularly provides expert witness testimony across the state of California.
Dr. Aponte's professional experience includes evaluations of metal status at the time of offense / insanity, mental health diversion, mitigation, trial competence, resentencing (i.e., Franklin), and risk. She has deep and specialized knowledge of serious mental illness (e.g., psychotic disorders, mood disorders, severe personality disorders).
Attorneys are encouraged to reach out for a complimentary consultation, during which we can discuss your case and determine whether there are likely any relevant mental health, psychosocial, or other considerations that may benefit from my services, or simply to get a fresh perspective on how to approach it.
