Training, Contracting, and Supervision
Our Training Model
Located on the waters of the beautiful Pacific Northwest in Tacoma, Washington, P. I. E. Corp is a private practice known for high-quality, innovative, and evidence-based civil forensic assessments. Our professional identity emphasizes relevancy-focused and streamlined forensic assessment. Our work is social justice oriented, with referrals often involving victims of complex trauma and intersectionally disadvantaged identities as they navigate the legal system.
P. I. E. Corp offers dedicated training opportunities for many levels of professional development, including:
Practicum / Preinternship
Our training model is open to predoctoral practicum students. We have established relationships with many programs, including Seattle Pacific University, Northwest University, Antioch University, and Fielding Graduate University, yet also remain open to students from other programs, as well.
During their year, practicum students can expect to produce multiple (i.e., 10 – 20) comprehensive and integrated shadow civil forensic reports. Our training model also offers bi-weekly didactics and trainings, regular group supervision, close individual supervision, connections with our larger community of forensic psychologists in the state, extensive training in conducting psychodiagnostic assessments, and advanced trauma case conceptualization.
Our supervisors ensure a wide variety of evaluations and assessment styles, and our incredible administrative team helps support our training program as well. The training program can often accommodate, based upon trainee interest and satisfactory progress in developing civil forensic skills, external observations of others doing civil and criminal evaluations in the wider forensic psychology community in WA state.
Our experience, which includes support from multiple former DCTs for doctoral programs, helps us specialize in training students during the year they go out for the APPIC match. Former practicum students have gone on to secure internship and/or postdoctoral fellowship opportunities at:
-
Utah State Hospital
-
Richard J. Donovan Correctional Center
-
Harvard Medical School – Massachusetts Mental Health Center
-
Stanford Medicine Mood and Anxiety Disorder Clinic
-
Northeastern Florida State Hospital
-
Southwest Behavioral Health
-
Copa Behavioral Health

Psychological Assessment, Inc.
Postdoctoral Fellowship
P. I. E. Corp is a private practice known for high-quality, innovative, and evidence-based civil forensic assessments. Our professional identity emphasizes relevancy-focused and streamlined forensic assessment. We particularly specialize in personal injury referrals of all kinds (e.g., sexual abuse, wrongful death, medical malpractice, injury and accident, dog bite, etc.) as well as more niche and specialized work, including treatment responsiveness, suicide causation, and more. Our work is social justice oriented, with referrals often involving victims of complex trauma as they navigate the legal system.
P. I. E. Corp psychologists have extensive training and experience in forensic psychology, supervision, and assessment. Our practice is also aligned with a wider network of forensic psychologists in the Pacific Northwest, providing opportunities for training in a variety of other referral contexts.
Fellows can expect to write 12 or more forensic civil reports, with opportunities for further training experiences (e.g., other referral questions, research opportunities, etc.) based upon fellow workload and interest. Our program has a particular emphasis on robust and holistic trauma assessment and case conceptualization. We allow the possibility of supervising practicum/externship students as well. P. I. E. Corp aims to offer criminal forensic and research opportunities dependent upon fellow interest. Our supervisors ensure a wide variety of evaluations and assessment styles, and our incredible administrative team helps support our training program as well. Applicants will also learn about practical strategies for creating and managing a forensic psychology private practice. Additionally, fellows will attend regular didactics and supplied trainings relevant to forensic psychology.

Contracting and Consultation
At P. I. E. Corp, we are on the lookout for individuals who want to work with us, gain expertise in conducting civil personal injury evaluations, and obtain best-practice level supervision and support. We now offer hybrid contracting positions, open to licensed psychologists eligible to practice in WA state (i.e., a WA license or PSYPACT certification), with interest and experience in forensic psychology.
We offer considerable support for those learning this field or wanting to learn best-practice-level procedures in civil forensic assessment, including didactics, training, and weekly consultation slots for contractor support. Our supervisors help contractors learn referral questions, procedures, tests, and our report style. Our administrative team also offers professional editing and record review for contractors, as well. Contractors can expect to receive competitive compensation for their work, as we offer a graduated program in which subsequent reports, and greater levels of contractor independence, offer higher compensation, while still receiving key support.
If you would like to learn more about contracting opportunities and application requirements, please contact our administrative staff at admin@personalinjuryevaluations.com or our Director of Clinical Training at rockybmarkphd@gmail.com.
