I am a Licensed Psychologist who has been honing my clinical skills for over 20 years — connecting with others, making them comfortable, listening deeply, and hearing what people say and don't say. My greatest fulfillment comes from those moments when genuine human connection enables healing. When COVID layoffs included my university counseling position, I ended up in the world of VA disability exams. It was a stop-gap job. And I dreaded it. The training, emphasizing policies and protocols over the humans we were serving, felt antithetical to everything I valued about psychology. But the moment I sat across from my first veteran, the policies and protocols faded into background noise, and what emerged was crystal clear: these are humans deserving of dignity, understanding, and accurate assessments. By the end of my first week, I was both heartbroken and enraged by what I witnessed—bias, ignorance, and a communication gap that was failing the very people we're meant to serve. Here's what I've learned: Veterans often carry wounds they can't name or don't recognize. They've been conditioned to "suck it up," taught that struggling means weakness. When they finally seek help and face an examiner who invalidates their experience or questions their credibility, it's not just disappointing—it's retraumatizing. But it doesn't have to be this way. I believe VA disability evaluations should honor President Lincoln's promise to care for those who served. Yes, these assessments must be objective and unbiased. But skilled psychologists can be both clinically rigorous AND empathetic. We can conduct forensic examinations that are also therapeutic encounters—opportunities for veterans to be heard, educated about their symptoms, validated in their experiences, and ultimately receive the accurate ratings they deserve. This is where I find myself now: pioneering a different approach in this field, driven by a clinical mindset that sees both what is and what could be. Every day, I use my rapport-building skills and clinical knowledge not just to ensure accurate assessments, but to help veterans feel seen and understood, often for the first time. I'm not just making a difference with individual veterans—I'm working to set a new standard. Because this should be the standard. We have the power to change the trajectory of how we serve those who served us.
