Dr. Cockerill remains active in ongoing scholarship and psychiatric research.
“The needs of the patient come first.”
This principle, taught during my medical training at Mayo Clinic, guides everything I do. Whether working with patients to achieve their mental wellness goals or providing objective expert testimony for legal professionals, I strive to bring dedication, integrity, and expertise to every interaction.
In clinical practice, I believe psychiatric care should be collaborative, not burdensome. My focus is on truly understanding each patient’s unique situation and working together to develop effective, personalized treatment approaches that combine empathetic care with evidence-based psychiatry.
In forensic work, I maintain strict objectivity and scientific rigor, providing thorough evaluations and clear testimony that serves the interests of justice.
When not seeing patients or working on forensic cases, Dr. Cockerill enjoys spending time at the beach with his partner and dog, playing tennis, and developing his home cooking skills. He believes that maintaining balance and pursuing personal interests makes him a better psychiatrist and a more grounded professional.
