WHY YOU MIGHT NEED A VAC PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

A VAC psychological assessment can help you and your care providers better understand your mental health needs. This process can be an important first step in connecting you with mental health services that match your goals and support you in addressing specific mental health challenges. A mental health assessment may also help determine eligibility for certain benefits through VAC assistance service.

This process can be an important first step in:

  • Clarifying a diagnosis
  • Understanding the impact of service-related experiences on your well-being
  • Informing treatment planning
  • Supporting applications for VAC benefits and services

We take a collaborative approach to every assessment process, focusing on clear communication and personalized recommendations. Our veteran psychologists take the time to explain your results and answer questions so that you feel supported, informed, and engaged in your care.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT FOR VETERANS AT OTTAWA THERAPY GROUP

We understand the unique challenges faced by veterans, including the impact of military service on mental health. Our psychologists have experience assessing mental health issues and psychological conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, operational stress injuries, and adjustment disorders. Our work is grounded in respect and confidential support that honours the complexity of each person’s experience.

We also recognize how difficult it can be to seek help after service. We aim to provide a supportive space that helps you cope, reconnect with your therapeutic goals, and begin building the skills needed to navigate civilian life with strength and clarity.
