Evaluations & Documentation

Comprehensive Mental Health Evaluations & Documentation

Unified Counseling provides virtual mental health evaluations and clinical documentation. Services are completed with care, professionalism, and attention to the specific requirements of the professional or organization requesting the documentation.

Evaluation Services

Evaluations are available to new and established clients. Please confirm the requirements of the requesting provider or organization before scheduling.

Bariatric Surgery Evaluation

Preparing for bariatric surgery often includes completing a behavioral health evaluation as part of the pre-surgical process. The evaluation is designed to assess emotional readiness, behavioral factors, support systems, and understanding of the lifestyle changes associated with surgery.

Fee: $275

Before scheduling, clients should confirm that their bariatric program accepts evaluations completed by a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Immigration Mental Health Evaluation

Immigration mental health evaluations provide detailed clinical documentation of psychological symptoms, trauma history, and the emotional impact of an individual’s experiences and circumstances. Clients may provide written documentation requirements from their attorney for review, and completed reports may be released to the attorney with the client’s written authorization.

Standard: $850 · Rush: $1,150 · Urgent: from $1,450

Fees may vary for unusually complex cases, extensive record review, interpretation needs, or additional professional consultation.

Trauma-Focused Clinical Evaluation

A trauma-focused clinical evaluation provides a structured assessment of traumatic experiences, current symptoms, emotional functioning, and the impact those experiences may have on daily life.

Fee: $500

Gender-Affirming Care Assessment & Letter

Disability Forms & Documentation — $150

Completion of short-term disability, long-term disability, or other disability-related documentation is available for established therapy clients only.

Clients must have completed a minimum of 6 therapy sessions with Unified Counseling before disability forms or supporting documentation can be considered.

This allows sufficient time to assess symptoms, functioning, treatment progress, and the clinical information needed to complete the paperwork appropriately. Completion of six sessions does not guarantee that disability documentation will support a specific leave period, restriction, accommodation, or disability determination.

Fee: $150 for standard disability documentation.

Detailed Clinical Support Letter — $100

A more detailed letter requiring clinical information, treatment history, functional concerns, or recommendations. The clinician will determine what information is appropriate to include based on the treatment record and the purpose of the request.

Subpoenas, Court Orders & Required Legal Involvement

Unified Counseling does not routinely participate in voluntary court appearances, depositions, or attorney meetings. If records, testimony, a deposition, or a court appearance is legally required through a valid subpoena or court order, the request will be reviewed individually. Applicable fees for preparation, record review, travel, waiting time, testimony, or other required professional time will be communicated when appropriate and permitted by law.

Medical Records

Medical Record Requests — Fees Vary. Requests for copies of medical records are processed in accordance with applicable federal and state law. Any permitted copying, preparation, media, postage, or other applicable charges will depend on the format and scope of the request. Clients will be informed of any applicable fee before records are released when required.

Psychotherapy notes that are maintained separately from the designated clinical record are handled differently from ordinary patient-access requests.

Important Information

Evaluation and documentation services are based on independent clinical assessment. Scheduling or paying for an evaluation does not guarantee a particular diagnosis, recommendation, accommodation, letter, surgery clearance, immigration outcome, disability determination, leave period, or other requested result. Clinical recommendations are made based on the information available and the clinician’s professional judgment.

Clients should confirm the specific documentation and credential requirements of their physician, surgeon, attorney, employer, school, insurance company, or other requesting organization before scheduling. Evaluation and documentation services are generally self-pay unless insurance coverage has been confirmed in advance. See our fees and payment page and terms and policies.
