“I have been fortunate to work alongside Dr. Marrapese as a colleague for six years. During the course of our work together, I have found Dr. Marrapese to be an exceptional clinician and evaluator with a broad range of clinical and forensic expertise. Her evaluations are thoughtful, well-reasoned, and objective and indicative of her competence in this field. “

“I have been consulting on Dr. Marrapese's work for more than a decade now. Her conscientiousness, thoroughness, and attention to detail make her a superb evaluator. She doesn't do a cookie-cutter approach, instead customizing each evaluation to the specifics of the situation. Her depth of experience in a wide range of forensic and in-patient settings makes her uniquely qualified to do the work she does.”

“Dr. Marrapese is a gifted psychologist. She readily engages in exceptional conceptualization and critical thinking that characterizes outstanding forensic psychologists. You will find that she will maintain a high degree of integrity and interpersonal skill in the midst of very complicated social interactions, many involving multicultural issues.”

Dr. Marrapese and I worked in a forensic psychiatric inpatient unit, where we took care of severely ill patients, whose histories are complicated by trauma, relationship issues and substance use. I relied on Dr. Marrapese’s superior clinical skills for case conceptualization and treatment formulation. She is adept in various therapeutic approaches that she judiciously employed depending on the circumstances. On occasions when the complicated clinical picture posed diagnostic and treatment challenges, she administered focused neuropsychological assessments that were instrumental in providing diagnostic clarification and refinement of treatment. I am very fortunate to have worked with her. And I look forward for the opportunity to collaborate with her again.
