About FC PsychExperts Jacksonville, FL
Your partner in psychological justice, serving Jacksonville and surrounding communities with integrity, expertise, and compassion.
Our Story & Mission
At FC PsychExperts, we bridge the critical gap between psychology and the legal system throughout Jacksonville, Florida and beyond. Founded by Dr. Cathy Colet, a Licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, our practice was built on a simple but powerful belief: every individual deserves fair psychological evaluation within the justice system, and every legal professional deserves access to evidence based assessments that support informed decision making.
Since our inception, we have conducted thousands of forensic evaluations across Florida’s court systems. Our team of highly credentialed psychologists brings specialized training from the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children, the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, the Association of Family and Conciliation Court, the American Psychological Association, and Physicians for Human Rights. This commitment to continuous education ensures we stay at the forefront of forensic psychology best practices, offering the most reliable and insightful services to the judicial system.
We understand that when someone contacts a forensic psychologist in Jacksonville, FL, they are often facing challenging legal situations that impact lives, families, and futures. That is why we approach every evaluation with ethical sensitivity and without judgment based on age, race, gender, religion, or sexual preference. Our dedication goes beyond completing assessments. We are committed to advancing justice through comprehensive, scientifically sound evaluations that help attorneys, judges, and families make the best possible decisions.
What sets us apart is our dual focus. We maintain a practice that is 75% forensic and 25% clinical, allowing us to bring deep therapeutic insight to our forensic work while remaining objective evaluators. This balance gives us unique perspective into both treatment possibilities and legal realities, making our assessments more nuanced and helpful to all parties involved.

Our Philosophy & Values
Every forensic evaluation we conduct is grounded in three core principles: ethical integrity, evidence based practice, and social equality.
Our philosophy recognizes that forensic psychology serves a higher purpose than simply answering legal questions. We believe our work contributes to a fairer society by ensuring that psychological factors are accurately understood and appropriately considered in legal proceedings. This means we never cut corners, never allow external pressures to compromise our objectivity, and never lose sight of the human beings at the center of every case.
Ethical Practices form the foundation of everything we do. We uphold the highest standards of ethics in all our assessments and interactions, ensuring integrity and trustworthiness in our work. When a Jacksonville attorney or judge relies on our evaluations, they can trust that our findings reflect careful analysis, appropriate methodology, and complete honesty about what the data does and does not support.
Ongoing Education keeps us sharp and current. The field of forensic psychology evolves continuously as new research emerges and legal standards shift. We invest significantly in continuous learning and development for our entire team, ensuring we stay updated with the latest advancements in forensic assessment, risk evaluation, and treatment approaches. Our professional memberships and regular training mean that the forensic psychologist in Jacksonville, FL that you work with through FC PsychExperts brings cutting edge knowledge to your case.
Comprehensive Assessments distinguish quality forensic work from superficial evaluations. Our thorough and evidence based evaluations offer critical insights to legal professionals, aiding in informed decision making and promoting justice within the legal system. We use multiple data sources, validated assessment instruments, collateral interviews, and careful record review to build a complete picture that serves the legal question being asked.
We believe deeply in social equality and approach every evaluation without judgment. Our commitment ensures fairness and respect regardless of a person’s background, identity, or the nature of the allegations they face. This philosophical stance is not just idealistic. It is practical. Bias compromises the validity of assessments, and we cannot serve justice if we allow prejudice to color our professional judgments.
