Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs)
Independent Medical Evaluation (IME) Therapists in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients
Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs) are structured assessments conducted by licensed mental health professionals to provide an objective clinical opinion, often in the context of legal, insurance, disability, or employment-related matters. These evaluations are typically requested by a third party, such as a court, attorney, employer, or insurance company, and are used to help clarify diagnoses, assess psychological functioning, or determine the extent of mental health impairments. Individuals referred for IMEs may experience anxiety, stress, or uncertainty about the process, especially when it relates to compensation claims, fitness for duty, or disability benefits.

While these evaluations differ from ongoing therapy, our clinicians are sensitive to the stress clients may experience during the process and aim to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment.
