Personal Injury Evaluation
A serious accident or traumatic event can have lasting psychological effects that extend beyond physical recovery. Personal injury psychological evaluations may help clarify symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, sleep disturbance, fear, and changes in daily functioning following a motor vehicle accident, serious injury, medical event, or other life-altering experience.
Dr. Sabina Mauro uses a trauma-informed approach to provide comprehensive psychological evaluations examining the emotional and psychological impact of personal injury. Each evaluation is conducted with professionalism, compassion, and clinical objectivity, with attention to current psychological functioning, trauma-related symptoms, and the ways these concerns may affect daily life.
