Dr. Debra Govan, PHD

Failed to meet or correspond with professionals involved in care of one parent, failed to interview caregivers who corroborated facts of record noted in therapist and psychiatric reports. Stated claims of one parent about the other parent as fact without validating those claims, then used said claims to recommend limiting parenting time.

She was appointed as a PRE and was to conduct a child custody investigation. She did not do an investigation at all. She spent 5 times as much time with one parent and when that parent provided her with false information she just accepted it as the truth without EVER asking the other parent about it. She is NOT licensed as a Pshchotherapist in the State of Colorado. If you are looking for someone who actually does a true investigation, is impartial, honest and trully cares about your child I recommend not using her.

Hands down the worst evaluator in Larimer County. Lies, manipulates facts and is paid-for-hire.

In 2013, used by an unscrupulous lawyer/firm, she resulted in the almost complete elimination of my Parenting Time since then. I didn't know then that she had been sanctioned by DORA for lying about her credentials for years before she was appointed my PRE in 2012. On Feb 1, 2010 she was issued a letter of admonishment by DORA: "You represented a PhD in Community counseling as clinical Counseling degree". In Court in 2013 she lied under oath that she DID have a Clinical Counseling degree

Horrible custody evaluator! Doesn't look at facts, doesn't do her research. Very, very poor job.

She is not trustworthy in weighing all the facts and ignores other professional evaluations and recommendation.
