Buyer Beware: Dr. Theis is running a "puppy mill" of custody evaluations from his office in Southtown San Antonio. He has an assistant who monitors up to four people in real life and who knows how many more online, relying on paper-based forms when the APA custody evaluation guidelines call for multiple forms of interviews to be used. From my exeperience along with several other people who have found me and told me their experience with him, I believe this is his pattern: Dr. Theis finds a story that is easy to tell and makes the "data" fit what he wants to tell. In my case I was able to have another PhD custody evaluator review the file and her biggest comment was "it appears that your information was not reviewed or used in any substantive manner." Of course, as she pointed out, custody evaluators have to make a call of what's best and someone is always unhappy in the outcome. However, there is a basis of understanding in the process that the evaluator should be fair and unbiased, but Dr. Theis consistently creates black and white stories when in reality, it's very rare for one parent to be "perfect" and another parent to be "evil." He does not follow the best practices of using online testing for personality testing, instead choosing to hand-score each test and makes it very difficult for people to have another person examine the scores (I had to get a subpoena to see mine). He is harming kids while lining his pockets and telling false narratives. DO NOT AGREE TO USE HIM IN YOUR CUSTODY CASE. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST!
I would love to give less than 1 star because this man should not be practicing. He is and unethical and detrimental as they come. He is absolutely corrupt and unconcerned with the child only the check. He will conveniently forget any important details and any good merit for whatever side does not have enough money to buy him off. He should not be in practice he should not be a PHD and unless you have $7,000-$9,000 to buy his testimony you will be out of luck and he will destroy your family.
