Psychosocial Assessments and FMLA Evaluations

Psychosocial Assessments and Evaluations

In a 2-3 hour interview, I assess for the purpose of identifying psychiatric symptoms, social and environmental stressors,  and psychiatric disorders that can impede functioning. I will also provide treatment recommendations and referrals for additional psychiatric services (such as medication referrals) if needed. After your evaluation and treatment plan, I am able to substantiate medical leave (FMLA) for certain psychiatric conditions (major depression, anxiety or trauma) that impede your ability to work at the moment. This is based on thorough assessment and meeting diagnostic criteria and impairments, along with a mental health treatment plan.

Sofia Mendoza, LCSW

Therapist

I’m passionate about helping individuals through their challenges, childhood memories, trauma, parenting and life transitions. I use a combination of strength-based, behavioral, and cognitive interventions to help clients become present, focused and skillful — all in an effort to train them to become their own therapists while developing a life worth living.
