Expert Witness
As a WPATH GEI SOC8 Certified Member and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado, Li Brookens is qualified to act as an expert witness on mental health issues related to social identity, queer and transgender discrimination, harassment, and medical malpractice. As an expert witness Li brings over a decade of professional experience in the field of mental health specifically serving the transgender community. Hiring a transgender expert witness that can break down complicated scientific and medical concepts in ways that allow jury members to comprehend, can prove critical to your success in the courtroom. If you or somebody you know requires an expert witness on any transgender or social identity discrimination related mental health issues, there would be a clear advantage to hiring a WPATH GEI SOC8 Certified Member over a mental health expert witness that lacks extensive training and experience in health care, research, and policy related to transgender health. If you feel that you can benefit from hiring an expert witness on transgender mental health, then contact Li Brookens.
