Psychiatric Care and Claim-Ready Documentation

Every service we provide is designed for one patient population: federal employees. That means clinical treatment that works, paired with medical evidence that holds up in the OWCP process.

Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation

A full diagnostic assessment of your history, work exposure, symptoms, and functional limits — the foundation of both your treatment plan and your claim file.

  • Detailed clinical interview and diagnostic formulation
  • Work-relatedness and causal-relationship analysis
  • Functional capacity and duty-status opinions

Medication Management

Ongoing prescribing and monitoring for depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and related conditions, with attention to duty requirements and safety-sensitive positions.

  • Initial prescribing and titration
  • Side-effect monitoring and dose adjustment
  • Coordination with your primary care or treating physician

Treatment for Work-Related Stress Injuries

Care for the psychological injuries that federal service produces — critical incidents, assault, hostile work environments, prolonged overtime, and burnout.

  • PTSD and acute stress reactions
  • Anxiety, panic, and adjustment disorders
  • Major depression and burnout

Telepsychiatry

Secure video visits so you can be evaluated and treated around your tour of duty, shift rotation, or route — without traveling or burning leave.

  • Evening and flexible appointment windows
  • Same clinical standard as in-office care
  • Documentation delivered the same way

OWCP & FECA Documentation

Reports written to Department of Labor standards so your psychiatric condition is properly supported in the record, not rejected for insufficient rationale.

  • Narrative medical reports with medical rationale
  • Support for CA-1, CA-2, CA-2a, CA-7 and CA-20 filings
  • Recurrence, expansion, and schedule-award related documentation

Second Opinions & Claim Reviews

If your mental health claim was denied or your condition was never accepted, we review the record and clarify what medical evidence is missing.

  • Review of denial letters and prior reports
  • Clarifying diagnosis and causation
  • Guidance on next documentation steps

OWCP Forms

The Paperwork Behind Your Claim

Mental health claims are denied more often for missing medical rationale than for missing symptoms. We know which forms carry which burden of proof.

CA-1

Traumatic Injury — a single work shift event

CA-2

Occupational Disease — exposure over more than one shift

CA-2a

Notice of Recurrence of a previously accepted condition

CA-7

Claim for Compensation — wage loss and leave buy-back

CA-17

Duty Status Report — work restrictions

CA-20

Attending Physician's Report

Form guidance is educational and does not replace advice from the U.S. Department of Labor or your representative.
