Mental Health Consultation
The psychologist and neuropsychologist are available to provide consultation services to Commands through Command Directed Evaluations and Fitness for Duty evaluations. A service member’s Commander may request these evaluations through a process dictated by Army policy. These evaluations are not a substitute for emergency services.

We also perform Security Clearance Evaluations at the request of the DOD agency/organization employing the Service Member or DOD Civilian.
