About Dr. Hall
Clinical & Forensic Psychologist In Kentucky

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Kent State University, where I worked as a member of the MMPI Research Group led by Dr. Yossef Ben-Porath on the development and validation of the MMPI-3, one of the most widely-used and extensively researched instruments for assessing personality and mental health problems.

I’ve first-authored peer-reviewed publications and presented research on applied psychometric topics to national audiences, as well as written a book chapter on MMPI-2-RF Validity Scale interpretation in clinical neuropsychology settings. I've taught introductory statistics, led research method seminars, and mentored undergraduate students through research projects, so I'm comfortable working with data and translating difficult concepts into accessible language. 

I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, where I worked with Veterans navigating complex psychiatric presentations, often involving trauma, chronic pain, substance use, and overlapping medical conditions, across outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings. I've additionally trained in a college counseling setting providing psychotherapy and ADHD testing for college students, as well as completed multiple supervised practicum experiences in forensic psychological assessment.

These experiences have led me to a practice that's built around personality-based differential diagnosis for adults whose presentations resist categorical classifications, using empirically-grounded dimensional assessment to develop case formulations and recommendations that go beyond diagnosis to something more useful.
