General FAQs

  • KindestMind provides remote (telehealth) psychological evaluations for clients across the United States. All assessments are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant video platforms, allowing you to complete your evaluation from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

    Because most evaluations are accepted nationwide via telehealth—including immigration, surrogacy, fitness for duty, and legal evaluations—clients rarely need to travel. However, if an in-person appointment is required for specific cases, KindestMind can assist with referral options.

  • KindestMind’s team is composed of highly trained, licensed mental health professionals, including psychologists (Ph.D. and Psy.D.) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs). Each clinician brings specialized expertise in psychological and behavioral evaluation across areas such as immigration cases, fitness-for-duty assessments, legal documentation, and workplace or academic accommodations.

    All KindestMind clinicians hold active state licenses and maintain good standing with their respective licensing boards and professional associations. They participate in ongoing education and supervision to ensure that every assessment meets current professional, ethical, and clinical standards.

    Our evaluators follow structured, evidence-based procedures informed by guidelines from the American Psychological Association (APA), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), and other leading professional bodies. This ensures every evaluation is thorough, objective, and culturally responsive.

    With a combination of advanced training, diverse backgrounds, and compassionate professionalism, KindestMind clinicians deliver evaluations that provide clear insights and dependable documentation—helping clients, attorneys, and organizations make informed decisions grounded in trusted psychological expertise.

  • The turnaround time depends on the type of evaluation. Most reports are completed within 7 to 14 business days after your session.

    For urgent cases—such as immigration hearings, workplace evaluations, or court deadlines—expedited reports can be delivered within 3 to 5 business days. KindestMind’s team works closely with clients and attorneys to ensure all reports are thorough, compliant, and delivered on time.

  • If a client disagrees with the results of their evaluation, they have the right to discuss the findings with the evaluator and request clarification.

    In certain cases, clients may also pursue a second opinion from another licensed psychologist. KindestMind supports transparency and fairness in all assessments and ensures that every client fully understands their results before final submission to an attorney, agency, or court.

  • Yes. KindestMind provides court-admissible psychological evaluations that meet professional standards for immigration, legal, and employment cases.

    Each report includes the appropriate diagnostic impressions, supporting evidence, and expert documentation required for USCIS, courts, or employers. Our psychologists are also available to provide expert testimony or clarification if requested by legal representatives.

  • KindestMind provides psychological evaluations nationwide through telehealth, allowing clients to access experienced clinicians without travel or geographic barriers.

    Our clinicians are licensed to practice in multiple U.S. states and many are authorized under the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), which permits psychologists to offer telehealth services across participating states. This ensures that KindestMind can legally and ethically provide evaluations to clients residing in most U.S. regions.

    Because all services are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms, clients receive the same level of professionalism and confidentiality as they would in person.
    We frequently serve individuals referred by attorneys, agencies, healthcare professionals, and employers for immigration, disability, occupational, and surrogacy-related evaluations.

    For intended parents living outside the United States, KindestMind also provides surrogacy psychological evaluations in select countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Germany. These international evaluations are completed via telehealth and meet the professional and ethical standards outlined by the American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

    By combining nationwide telehealth access, PSYPACT authorization, and select international availability, KindestMind ensures that clients everywhere can obtain accurate, ethical, and culturally sensitive psychological evaluations from qualified professionals.

  • KindestMind is dedicated exclusively to psychological evaluations—not therapy—allowing our clinicians to focus entirely on precision, compliance, and client support.

    Our multilingual, telehealth-based team provides nationwide access to experienced evaluators who understand both clinical standards and documentation requirements for complex legal, occupational, and disability cases.

    Clients consistently value our professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail throughout the entire process.

  • KindestMind’s clinicians are able to provide services in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi. This multilingual capability allows us to serve clients from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds with sensitivity and accuracy.

    When a client’s preferred language is not available, we coordinate with certified medical interpreters to ensure clear communication throughout the evaluation. Interpreters follow strict confidentiality and ethical guidelines consistent with HIPAA and professional clinical standards.

    By offering evaluations in several languages, KindestMind helps clients express themselves comfortably and ensures that every assessment accurately reflects their experiences, emotions, and cultural context.

  • KindestMind is deeply committed to providing culturally responsive and trauma-informed evaluations that respect each client’s unique background, values, and experiences.

  • KindestMind’s primary focus is on psychological evaluations and documentation, not ongoing therapy or treatment. This allows our clinicians to remain objective and unbiased, which is especially important when reports are used for legal, occupational, or immigration purposes.

    While we do not provide long-term therapy, our clinicians may offer brief follow-up sessions to clarify results or provide additional documentation when appropriate. We also offer referrals to trusted mental health professionals and community resources for clients who would benefit from continued support or treatment.
