At Casey Mental Health Collaborative, we provide comprehensive pre-surgical psychological evaluations and support letters for patients preparing for bariatric, plastic\/reconstructive, and gender-affirming surgeries.

We do not view these assessments as gatekeeping. Instead, our role is to understand your story, affirm your goals, and provide respectful, evidence-informed documentation aligned with best practices in behavioral health and medicine.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1133″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
We explore eating behaviors, emotional readiness, lifestyle, and supports\u2014critical for success after weight-loss surgery.<\/p>\n
For procedures where psychological clearance is required (e.g., post-mastectomy reconstruction, body contouring, elective cosmetic surgery), we offer confidential evaluations tailored to surgical protocols.<\/p>\n
Grounded in the WPATH Standards of Care, our affirming, trauma–<\/strong>informed evaluations explore gender history, mental health context, informed consent, and readiness. When criteria are met, we provide timely support letters in alignment with gender-affirming care guidelines.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll guide you through a brief intake and collect any documents required by your surgeon or insurance provider.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll meet with a licensed clinician for a 60\u201390-minute video session to discuss your history, goals, and preparation for surgery.<\/p>\n Within 5\u20137 business days, you\u2019ll receive a customized evaluation report or letter of support, addressing the specific criteria of your procedure.<\/p>\n We approach every evaluation as a collaborative, nonjudgmental conversation\u2014not a test. Whether you’re seeking life-affirming care through bariatric treatment, gender-affirming surgery, or reconstructive procedures, our clinicians are here to support you with dignity, empathy, and professionalism.<\/p>\n Now accepting referrals<\/strong> for pre-surgical psychological evaluations and letters.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_btn title=”Request an Appointment” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.valant.io%2Fprospectivepatient%2FCaseyMentalHealthCollaborative|target:_blank”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1728693640046{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Pre-Surgical Psychological Evaluations & Letters” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:45px|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text] Pre-Surgical Psychological Evaluations & Support Letters At Casey Mental Health Collaborative, we provide comprehensive pre-surgical psychological evaluations and support letters for patients preparing for bariatric, plastic\/reconstructive, and gender-affirming surgeries.
