Dr. Nicole Mirkin
Forensic Psychologist Providing Strategic Consultation and Coaching in High-Conflict Family Systems
Dr. Nicole Mirkin is a forensic psychologist and strategic consultant specializing in high-conflict family systems and court-involved dynamics. Her work focuses on the intersection of psychology and institutional systems, including how courts interpret behavior, how evaluators form conclusions, and how legal processes influence family outcomes. She combines insider knowledge of court systems with forensic expertise to give clients and professionals a clear, strategic path through high-conflict cases.
She provides strategic consultation and coaching nationwide to parents navigating complex custody disputes, juvenile dependency proceedings, and child welfare investigations, as well as to attorneys and clinicians seeking expert guidance on high-conflict matters. Her work integrates structured preparation and strategic coaching to support organized decision-making, effective engagement within institutional processes, and confident navigation of complex cases.
In California, Dr. Mirkin conducts court-ordered 730 evaluations and adoption evaluations, and her direct experience within family and dependency courts informs her systems-level approach to high-conflict matters.
In addition to her forensic work, she provides psychotherapy to adolescents and adults in California and offers academic and career consultation nationwide.
Through her public writing project, Psychologist Interrupted, Dr. Mirkin explores the intersection of professional identity, trauma, institutional accountability, and personal rebuilding. Her broader work reflects a commitment to advancing thoughtful dialogue about high-conflict systems and the psychological realities faced by families navigating them.
