Christopher Lundell

Christopher J. Lundell, Psy.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Brighter Days Psychology, PLLC in Vancouver, Washington. He works with attorneys, guardians ad litem, and courts in high-conflict family law matters and criminal cases requiring psychological assessment and structured clinical evaluation.

Dr. Lundell provides services including parenting capacity assessments, reunification therapy, mental health evaluations, and competency to stand trial evaluations, as well as targeted cognitive and functional assessments relevant to legal proceedings. His work assists counsel and the court in understanding psychological functioning, risk factors, and barriers that may affect decision making, compliance, and participation in legal processes.

His practice frequently involves cases with allegations of domestic violence, substance use, and entrenched family conflict, as well as criminal matters in which questions arise regarding cognitive functioning, behavioral stability, or an individual’s capacity to understand proceedings and assist counsel.

His approach emphasizes careful documentation, structured assessment methods, and clear written reports that translate psychological findings into information that attorneys and courts can use in decision making. In treatment-oriented cases, he focuses on stabilizing behavioral patterns and supporting conditions that allow for meaningful participation in legal and rehabilitative processes.

Dr. Lundell maintains a private practice serving Southwest Washington and regularly collaborates with attorneys, public defense counsel, and guardians ad litem in complex cases. He is available for consultation regarding psychological issues arising in custody disputes, reunification efforts, competency to stand trial, and other criminal matters involving cognitive or behavioral concerns.
