Forensic social work is the intersection of clinical social work practice and the legal system. It includes conducting mental health evaluations for courts, providing case management for justice-involved individuals, offering reentry support, and serving as a clinical resource for attorneys and legal teams. It is a recognized area of practice within LCSW and LMSW scope — you don't need a separate license to do this work. You need the right training, supervision, and understanding of how legal and clinical systems interact.

Yes, and it's growing. Courts, attorneys, public defenders, and correctional systems rely on licensed clinicians to conduct evaluations, support reentry, and provide court-mandated therapy. Many clinicians don't realize their existing license already qualifies them to do this work. The barrier isn't credentials — it's knowing how to apply your skills in a legal context ethically and confidently.

It depends on your license type and your state. In many states, LCSWs, LMSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, and licensed psychologists can conduct forensic evaluations and provide reentry case management within their scope of practice. Some states have additional requirements or restrictions. Tireeka works with clinicians to identify exactly what their license allows in their specific state before they take on forensic work.

Yes, significantly. What an LCSW can do forensically in Oregon may be different from what an LCSW can do in Texas, New York, or Georgia. Licensing boards define scope differently, and some states have specific regulations around court-admissible evaluations. This is one of the most important things to get right before entering forensic practice — and one of the core things Tireeka covers in both coaching and training.

Concierge case management is a personalized, high-touch approach to supporting justice-involved individuals as they navigate the criminal justice system. Rather than a standard caseload model where clients are one of many, concierge case management means dedicated, individualized attention — coordinating services, communicating with legal teams, managing discharge planning, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. It's designed for clients and attorneys who need a clinical partner who is fully invested in the outcome.

No. Tireeka works with clinicians at all stages, from students and associates exploring the field, to licensed professionals making a full career transition, to experienced clinicians who want to formalize and grow their forensic practice. Coaching and training are tailored to where you are, not where you think you should be.

Workshops are group trainings focused on specific topics — foundational forensic knowledge, documentation, scope of practice, and the business side of forensic work. Coaching is one-on-one and built entirely around your specific situation, license, state, and career goals. Many clinicians start with a workshop to get grounded and then move into coaching to build their individual path.

Not all trainings are eligible for continuing education (CE) credits. Trainings that offer CE credits will be clearly labeled in the course description, including the number of credits available.
