Meet Dr. Chloe Haaz

Clarity, Insight, and Thoughtful Guidance in Complex Family Matters

Licensed Psychologist in Philadelphia PA

You’ve come to the right place.

 

I believe psychology should lead to lasting, meaningful change— particularly in moments when families are facing uncertainty, conflict, or high-stakes decisions involving children.

I’m Dr. Chloe Haaz, a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist specializing in the intersection of child development, family dynamics and the legal system.

A Focused and Balanced Approach

Navigating family and legal challenges can feel overwhelming— whether you are involved in a custody matter, participating in a psychological evaluation, or trying to support your child through a difficult transition.

My role is to bring clarity, structure, and thoughtful analysis to these situations.

With over a decade of experience in child psychology and specialized training in forensic mental health, I provide comprehensive evaluations and consultation that are:

  • Careful and well-reasoned

  • Balanced and objective

  • Grounded in the best interests of the child

I work closely with families, attorneys, and courts to ensure that complex dynamics are understood with nuance and communicated with precision.

Forensic Evaluation & Consultation

In my forensic work, I conduct psychological and custody evaluations in the context of legal proceedings.

I am known for:

  • Thorough, well-integrated reports

  • Clear positions

  • A respectful, measured approach to all individuals involved

I understand that entering this process can feel vulnerable or uncertain. My role is not to judge, but to understand- to provide a clear, accurate picture that supports thoughtful decision-making.

Private Consultation for Families

In addition to forensic services, I offer private consultation for families navigating complex or challenging situations.

This work is often sought during periods of transition, including:

  • Separation or divorce

  • A child starting college

  • Parenting a child who is anxious, emotionally reactive, or struggling to adapt

Consultations are practical, collaborative, and focused on helping parents develop a clearer understanding of their child and a more confident, effective approach moving forward.
