Evaluations can be scheduled directly by individuals (veterans, applicants, officers) or arranged through referring agencies (law enforcement departments, attorneys, VA representatives). If you are an agency seeking ongoing evaluation services, please contact Sentry directly to discuss a contract arrangement.

All evaluations are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth (video conferencing). This allows Dr. O'Kennon to serve clients across all PSYPACT participating states without the need for travel. You will receive a secure link prior to your scheduled appointment.

PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact) is an agreement among participating states that allows licensed psychologists to practice telehealth across state lines. Dr. O'Kennon is an authorized PSYPACT provider (#18692), which means she can provide telehealth services to clients in all PSYPACT member states. You can view the current list of participating states at psypact.org.

The clinical interview typically lasts approximately one hour.

For veteran evaluations, please have your VA claim file number, relevant service treatment records, and any prior mental health documentation ready. For public safety evaluations, bring any forms or documentation provided by your agency. For all evaluations, ensure you are in a private, quiet space with a stable internet connection for the telehealth session.

For pre-employment and fitness-for-duty evaluations, the report is sent directly to the referring agency unless otherwise arranged. For veteran disability evaluations, the report is provided to the client and can be submitted to the VA or their representative. Dr. O'Kennon maintains strict confidentiality in accordance with APA ethical guidelines and HIPAA regulations.

Sentry Psychological Evaluations is a private-pay practice and does not accept insurance directly. However, a detailed superbill can be provided for clients who wish to submit for out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for payment.
