From Underrated to Empowered

More than 50% of veterans do not receive a proper mental health diagnosis or treatment.

Many veterans are underrated for mental health. They don’t receive the compensation and support they deserve.

When some file their initial claim, their diagnosis and evidence can be a guessing game, which often leads to a denial or inappropriate rating.

VA denies claims due to lack of a current diagnosis, errors in submitted evidence, and other reasons.

Independent Medical Opinions from experienced psychologists empower veterans to get the benefits they deserve.

Tiffani D.
“She did a great job, very professional excellent.”
Artemio M.
“I feel so much lighter. I wish I could speak with Dr. Powers a few times a week. I felt like a better person,citizen,FATHER, and so on after that session. She just knows what to say and when to say it….more importantly HOW to say it. Didn’t seem invasive but I definitely opened up, took down the stoic face and shared the real truth about my own mental health struggles and fears. Yes I said it…..FEARS.”

"I have not spoken about my issues with anyone since my separation and have spent 30+ years suffering with my mental health state since the military. The process of opening up after all this time has been very difficult, but my experience with VMHA has made this process a little easier. At no time have I felt shame for communicating my struggles and have only had a feeling of this team genuinely wanting to help in any way they can."
