Proud Veteran-Owned Business Partner to The Purple Heart Foundation
Depression is one of the most common but under-addressed mental health struggles affecting veterans today. For many, the transition from active duty to civilian life brings not just logistical challenges, but a profound emotional toll. Feelings of hopelessness, loss of purpose, emotional numbness, and difficulty maintaining relationships often linger long after the uniform comes off. Veterans suffering from depression may find it difficult to get out of bed, keep a job, or engage with loved ones, yet many hesitate to seek help due to fear of stigma or distrust in the VA process.
The Department of Veterans Affairs does recognize depression as a service-connected condition. If a veteran can demonstrate that their depression was caused or worsened by their time in service, or by a service-connected condition, they may qualify for VA disability benefits. However, proving that link and getting the right rating isn’t always easy. The system can be complex, and many veterans face denials or low ratings due to insufficient medical evidence.
That’s where VMHA comes in. We specialize in providing high-quality, independent medical evaluations that support veterans in securing the VA disability for depression benefits they are entitled to. Our reports don’t just check boxes; they tell your story, clinically and compassionately, through a format the VA respects.
Every psychological evaluation is handled by a doctoral-level licensed psychologist who is deeply experienced in veteran mental health and VA claim requirements. We don’t outsource evaluations to unlicensed assistants or use pre-written templates. Instead, our assessments are grounded in clinical rigor, personal care, and ethical documentation.
We also lead with innovation. Our process is 100% virtual and HIPAA-compliant, which means veterans can complete their assessments securely from the comfort and privacy of home. We know that discussing depression can be difficult, so we make it as easy and respectful as possible. Our platform is intuitive and mobile-friendly, eliminating geographic barriers and long wait times. Whether you live in a rural town or a major city, you can access our services without hassle.
When you choose VMHA, you’re choosing uncompromising quality, both in staff and technology. Our assessments are written to meet the evidentiary needs of VA disability for depression claims and to help ensure veterans receive an accurate, appropriate disability rating. With more than $280 million in total VA benefits unlocked for our clients, our team has proven time and again that clinical excellence matters.
VMHA was founded for one reason: to support veterans. We don’t work with civilians or dabble in general disability claims. Everything we do is tailored exclusively to the veteran community. This exclusive focus gives us a level of insight and empathy that generic providers can’t match. We understand the stress, frustration, and emotional strain that often comes with applying for depression, especially when a veteran has already been denied or undervalued by the system.
Just as important as our expertise is our integrity. We believe that financial stress should never prevent a veteran from receiving quality support. That’s why we offer transparent, flat-rate pricing. No back pay demands. No surprise fees. No “percentage of benefits” schemes. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for, and we’ll never upsell or push services you don’t need.
We also provide flexible payment options. Whether you’re currently unemployed, awaiting a claim decision, or simply trying to stay within budget, our team will work with you to find a solution. Helping veterans isn’t just our business, it’s our purpose. We want every veteran to feel empowered to seek the care and documentation they need to secure a better future.
VMHA was built on a foundation of trust. We don’t believe in cutting corners or making inflated promises. Our goal isn’t just to help veterans win claims, it’s to help them feel seen, heard, and supported through one of the most important decisions of their post-service lives. That means we do the right thing every time.
Our independent medical opinions are always grounded in ethical clinical practice. We never exaggerate symptoms or offer a pre-determined outcome. Instead, we provide honest, accurate evaluations that reflect the reality of what each veteran is going through. In the case of VA disability for depression, that means we evaluate how symptoms like chronic sadness, lack of motivation, suicidal thoughts, or impaired functioning are impacting your daily life, and how those symptoms connect to your time in service.
We are proud to partner with respected veteran organizations like the Purple Heart Foundation and to be a veteran-owned business ourselves. The people we serve aren’t just clients, they’re brothers and sisters in arms. That’s why we offer more than evaluations, we offer an ethical, respectful, and dignified path toward healing and justice.
