Looking for a psychologist ANYWHERE IN THE US to perform a DBQ - will travel

[hellfromabove]

I called another 30 psychologists in my area today and none would perform it.  I have called nearly 50 in total and not making any progress.

Does anyone know of a psychologist anywhere in the states that they have used for a psychological DBQ evaluation?  I am willing to travel.  Savings are running out, and I would gladly spend $200 in gas to travel to someone rather than waste another couple of days/weeks/months trying to get someone to help me out here.

Any help, advice, or referrals would be appreciated.

Thank you

Post a redacted copy of both the C & P PTSD DBQ and the actual Denial Letter. Have you filed your NOD Yet?

AskNod pointed you in a possible successful direction, yet you're still jerking around calling locally for a DBQ. You're at what now, called (WTF) 80  Psychologists Ph.D.'s with negative results, you have to be into pain. Do you even get to talk to the Drs when you call, or is it the screening staff member that's in charge of setting up New Appointments?

Thanks for the help everyone.  My psych problems are not PTSD related.  I have mental health problems stemming from my service connected disability.  I am essentially non-functional with near-daily migraines and am in a state of hopeless despair, as treatment is not working, I cannot work, and am currently living out of my car.  Filing this claim is a last resort when all else has failed.

I have a DBQ for "Mental Disorders (Other than PTSD and eating disorders), that I was told to have a private psych fill out.  Most won't do it, or know how to word it properly.  I'm going to research the names listed here, thank you for all your help.

Take care.
