For many veterans, the invisible wounds of service can be just as difficult to manage as physical injuries. Conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other service-related psychological challenges are often overlooked or minimized, not just by society, but by the disability benefits system itself. Filing a VA mental health claim can feel like an uphill battle, especially when veterans are asked to revisit difficult experiences and prove how those moments continue to impact their lives.
The VA does offer disability compensation for mental health conditions, but obtaining approval requires more than a diagnosis. Veterans must demonstrate how their mental health symptoms are connected to their service and how those symptoms impair their ability to function in daily life. Unfortunately, many are denied or underrated because of insufficient evidence or poorly written evaluations.
At VMHA, we specialize in helping veterans bridge this critical gap. Our mission is simple: to provide high-quality, ethically grounded independent psychological evaluations that help veterans present clear, credible, and accurate evidence for their mental health. We focus exclusively on mental health conditions and serve only the veteran community, ensuring every assessment is tailored, respectful, and impactful.
VMHA is driven by a relentless commitment to excellence. Every evaluation we deliver is conducted by a doctoral-level, licensed psychologist with specialized experience in VA disability cases. We never rely on cookie-cutter templates or rushed appointments. Instead, we take the time to understand the full scope of a veteran’s condition and document it in a way that meets both clinical and legal standards.
We also believe that high-quality care should be accessible. That’s why we built a tech-enabled, virtual-first model that allows veterans to complete their evaluations from the comfort of home. Our secure platform is HIPAA-compliant, intuitive, and designed to put veterans at ease. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or any other service-related condition, we make the process of documenting your VA mental health claim less stressful and more effective.
Every independent medical opinion we produce is backed by evidence-based psychological testing, thorough interviews, and expert clinical insight. These aren’t just checklists, they are carefully crafted reports designed to help the VA see the full truth of what you’ve experienced and how it affects your ability to live and work. We’re proud to say that the veterans we work with unlock, on average, over $579,000 in lifetime benefits, and we’ve helped secure more than $280 million total in VA awards.
One of the biggest concerns veterans face when pursuing outside help for their claim is cost, and rightly so. Many companies in this space charge vague fees, demand a portion of your back pay, or surprise clients with additional costs after services are rendered. We believe that transparency is non-negotiable. We offer a flat, upfront rate for all services with no hidden fees, no back pay collection, and no misleading fine print.
Just as important, we serve only veterans. That exclusivity allows us to focus deeply on your needs, your experiences, and your goals. We don’t offer generalized services to the public or attempt to be everything to everyone. We are a veteran-owned business created with one purpose: to empower veterans through clear, credible mental health documentation that supports their VA claims.
Our team is intimately familiar with how the VA evaluates mental health conditions and what kind of documentation makes a difference. Whether you’re filing a first-time mental health claim, appealing a rating, or seeking a secondary service connection, we’re here to provide guidance that’s grounded in compassion, competence, and real experience.
We also provide flexible payment plans to ensure that finances aren’t a barrier to the support you need. Your path to healing and recognition shouldn’t be delayed because of budget limitations. We work with you, not against you, every step of the way.
Too many veterans have had the experience of being treated like a number or being told that their pain doesn’t qualify. At VMHA, we do the opposite. We treat every veteran with the respect and honesty they deserve, and we uphold the highest ethical standards in all of our clinical practices. That means we never fabricate, exaggerate, or take shortcuts. Our reports are a reflection of your truth, documented through expert eyes and presented in a format the VA can understand and trust.
Ethics are not just a legal requirement for us, they are the foundation of our identity. Our psychologists provide evaluations that are not only clinically sound but also human. We know the emotional weight many veterans carry when filing a VA mental health claim, and we never take that lightly. Each assessment is approached with care, empathy, and the goal of advocating for your well-being.
We are also proud partners of The Purple Heart Foundation, and we bring the same sense of duty and integrity to our clients as we do to our professional partnerships. When you choose VMHA, you’re not just choosing a provider, you’re gaining an ally who respects your service, honors your experiences, and stands firmly beside you in your fight for recognition and support.
