Certified as a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) by the California Division of Workers' Compensation, Lynn Lunceford, Psy.D. splits her practice between traditional clinical psychotherapy and forensic work for attorneys, courts and licensing boards from her Washington Street office in Hillcrest. Her forensic caseload covers criminal competency assessments, sex offender risk evaluations, civil personal-injury IMEs, federal Defense Base Act workers' compensation claims and licensure investigations for the Medical Board of California, Board of Nursing and Board of Psychology — a courtroom-facing scope unrelated to the standard outpatient psychotherapy carried at Dr. Shoshana Shea, San Diego Psychotherapy. On the clinical side she uses brief solution-focused CBT with adults, couples, families, teens and children carrying depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, postpartum and PTSD diagnoses, currently delivered entirely through Zoom. The forensic-and-clinical dual track gives her a referral pathway to Dr. Melissa E. Munoz | Psychologist, who picks up the ongoing supportive therapy when an attorney's client needs continuing care after a forensic evaluation closes. The most demanding cases involve a federal Defense Base Act overseas-contractor claim where the same client also carries an active state licensing-board complaint and needs psychometric testing, structured forensic interviewing and report writing under both legal frames simultaneously.
