Immigration Psychological Evaluation:
The immigration process can be demanding and overwhelming- sometimes requiring additional documentation describing the individual’s overall presentation and mental health status. Depending on the type of case, a mental health assessment addresses the various psychological aspects related to the particulars of the case. For instance, an individual is required to undergo a psychological assessment as part of a prerequisite for premarital application approval. Each country’s Embassy may request documentation to assess as to whether or not there are mental health issues that could negatively impact the individual’s future marital relationship. The subsequent report often provides tremendous value in helping support people in their cause.

Independent Psychological Evaluations (IPEs) for VA Disability Claims:
Our Independent Psychological Evaluations (IPEs) provide veterans with an objective, expert assessment of their mental health conditions for VA disability claims. These comprehensive evaluations are designed to document how mental health conditions, such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety, relate to military service. Each evaluation includes a thorough clinical interview, psychological testing, and a detailed report that can be submitted as evidence for disability claims or appeals.

The Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions Evaluation (Form N-648):
The Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions Evaluation (Form N-648) is designed for individuals applying for U.S. citizenship who are unable to meet the English and/or civics requirements due to physical or mental disabilities. During this evaluation, a licensed clinical psychologist assesses the individual’s condition to determine if their cognitive functioning significantly impairs their ability to learn or demonstrate knowledge of English or U.S. history and government.

At Serenity Psychological Services, we provide thorough, independent evaluations for Form N-648 to ensure that applicants receive the necessary diagnosis to support their request for a disability exception. Our team provides compassionate, expert care to each patient.
