State Psychology Board Issues Charges Against Clark County Psychologist Following Custody Evaluation
The Washington State Department of Health’s Examining Board of Psychology has issued a statement of charges against licensed psychologist Jeffrey Allen Lee, alleging unprofessional conduct related to client confidentiality and standard of care during a 2020 family court case.
According to the statement of charges, dated May 8, 2026, the allegations stem from Lee’s appointment by the Clark County Superior Court in March 2020.
Lee was tasked with conducting a bilateral custody evaluation for an individual identified in the documents as “Parent A” during a dissolution proceeding.
The charging document outlines multiple instances where Lee allegedly failed to properly safeguard sensitive information.
According to the board, Lee provided a draft evaluation that contained the names of individuals who were not a party to Parent A’s evaluation.
Furthermore, the statement of charges alleges that during a video deposition on April 8, 2021, Lee appeared on camera with client names visibly on display behind him.
In addition to the alleged privacy breaches, the Department of Health claims Lee practiced below the accepted standard of care in his bilateral custody evaluation, dated October 23, 2020.
According to the statement of charges, Lee allegedly failed to include an explanation as to why he omitted parent-child observations as a component of the evaluation.
The document further alleges that Lee failed to document his direct observations of the parties’ behaviors, note any testing limitations, or document his reasons for declining to speak with collateral contacts provided by Parent A.
Based on these alleged facts, the Examining Board of Psychology contends that Lee’s actions constitute unprofessional conduct under Washington state law.
The charges cite violations of the Revised Code of Washington, specifically pointing to alleged incompetence, negligence, or malpractice that creates an unreasonable risk of harm to a patient.
The state also cites alleged violations of the Washington Administrative Code requiring psychologists to safeguard confidential client information.
Lee has held an active credential to practice psychology in Washington state since February 2012.
A statement of charges represents formal allegations made by the Department of Health, rather than established findings of fact.
According to the document, Lee has been issued a formal notice giving him the opportunity to defend against the charges. If he fails to respond, the state notes he may be subject to professional discipline and the imposition of sanctions under state law.
It sounds as if the state has honorable intentions and enough evidence to pursue this matter, which is exceedingly rare because most doctors automatically defend each other, even at the expense of the patients and society in general~!
May justice prevail~!
Sincerely, Mike
