For national security attorneys

If you are an attorney representing clients with problems obtaining or maintaining their clearances, we provide forensic consultations. We will assist with case analysis and development, report and file review, direct and cross-examination strategy, and witness preparation. Our credentials as board certified psychologists and psychologists with decades of experience, training in forensic psychology, and knowledge of the clearance process make us credible expert witnesses in administrative hearings.

For cleared professionals

If you are an employee, applicant, or military member facing a security clearance denial or revocation due to a poorly conducted psychological or psychiatric evaluation or because of some misunderstanding about your situation, we can help. We provide high-quality, independent psychological evaluations that give you the best chance at a fair appeal. We also provide services to help mitigate mental health, substance use, or personal conduct issues and life coaching to help you navigate challenges to your security clearance eligibility.

For employers in safety sensitive and cleared settings

We provide suitability and fitness for duty psychological evaluations for those in safety sensitive and cleared settings when an expert opinion about a potential employee’s suitability for a position or a current employee’s fitness to perform duties is needed. We are experts in evaluating federal law enforcement officers and agents, aviation professionals, medical providers, special operations personnel, and others who must be at their best and unimpaired to safely and successfully do their jobs. We provide state of the art fitness evaluations to help inform decisions about weapons handling, attendance at special schools, deployment to austere environments, policing powers, flying duties, and fitness to practice medicine. We also provide psychological consultations on matters related to insider threat and workplace violence prevention programs.

For current and former military members

As current and former military members, our psychologists understand military culture and the procedures and regulations pertaining to mental health conditions, retention standards, and discharges. Whether you are a currently serving Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airman, Coast Guardsman, or Guardian, we provide psychological evaluations to help you document your conditions when it is time for your service end or to help clarify your situation when faced with an unwanted separation. We also advise and evaluate Veterans seeking to upgrade their discharge status. If you have served and you need a psychological evaluation or advice, we are here to help.
