Litigation Services & Scope 

Dr. Walsh is equipped to provide expert reports, declarations, deposition testimony, trial testimony, and strategic consultation. Dr. Walsh is not a licensed therapist and does not provide clinical diagnosis or direct patient evaluation. Instead, provides peer-reviewed, academically grounded psychological analysis to assist plaintiff’s counsel in sexual harassment and retaliation matters. She can explain how documented diagnoses — including trauma-related disorders, anxiety, and depression — manifest functionally, and how those injuries impair occupational performance, earning capacity, relational stability, and overall quality of life.

Her testimony will translate psychological harm into clear, research-based explanations that assist juries in understanding the long-term impact of invisible injuries making a clear case for sizable damages to compensate for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and functional limitation.

By grounding a plaintiff’s experience in established science, D. Walsh is credible and supports a persuasive damages narrative in mediation and trial.
