Medical and Psychological Evaluation Requests

The Libertas Center provides medical, mental health, social and legal services to survivors of torture who have suffered persecution at the hands of an authority figure outside of the United States. Libertas has expert staff trained to evaluate the physical and psychological effects of torture. Before conducting an evaluation, we must confirm whether or not your client is eligible for our program. To request an evaluation, please complete and submit our Referral Form (unless your client is an existing Libertas Center client), and request and submit our Legal Questionnaire and your client’s Personal Statement to: info@libertascenter.net.

Libertas Provision of Services

Libertas provides our evaluation services free of charge. However, this service typically costs $3,500 or more. We cannot state that your client is credible, but we can offer an evaluation of your client to determine if their symptoms are consistent with their trauma. In addition to conducting medical and psychological evaluations, the Libertas Center is happy to provide your client with our other services — medical care, mental health care including therapy, Art Therapy, groups & medication management as well as social and legal case management.
