Information for Employers & HR Departments

Full Vida Therapy provides neutral, evaluation-only mental health assessments for documentation purposes.

Documentation is completed only when clinically supported based on functional impairment at the time of evaluation.

The clinician does not serve as an advocate for employees or employers and does not guarantee outcomes.

Communication with employers or HR departments occurs only with client authorization and is limited to confirming information already documented.

This service is designed to support clear, ethical, and efficient documentation while minimizing administrative burden for HR teams.

When employers request clarification or challenge submitted documentation, supplemental letters are available at an additional fee. A signed Release of Information is required.

  • Disability forms (California SDI or private insurers)

Each evaluation covers one form or one letter.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. You do not need to be an existing client at Full Vida Therapy. This service is open to anyone who needs mental health documentation and is located in California.

  • The evaluation is a one-time telehealth appointment that typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. You will also complete intake paperwork and brief screening tools before the session.

  • You will need to provide the exact form required by your employer, school, or disability program before the appointment. Generic letters are not accepted by most employers — having the specific form ensures your documentation meets their requirements.

  • Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days following your evaluation. Rush processing is available if you need documentation sooner — 24 to 48 hours (+$300) or 48 to 72 hours (+$200).

A signed Release of Information is required before any communication with your employer or HR department takes place.
