Virtually CALM
Quantifying Mental Health Injuries in Personal Injury Care

The consequences of an accident rarely end with what appears on an X-ray. Anxiety, trauma, sleep disruption, cognitive changes and emotional distress often follow—yet these invisible injuries are frequently overlooked, undertreated or poorly documented. In personal injury cases, this gap can delay recovery and weaken the ability to clearly establish causation between the incident and its psychological impact.

Virtually CALM closes that gap.

Purposefully designed to address the mental health dimensions of personal injury and workplace trauma, Virtually CALM delivers nationwide access to high-quality behavioral healthcare while producing clinically sound, litigation-ready documentation. Its mission is simple but ambitious: to make psychological injuries visible, measurable and treatable—without adding friction for patients or stakeholders.

Virtually CALM operates far beyond that of a telehealth provider. It functions as a specialized care partner for patients, attorneys and case managers navigating the complex intersection of health, law and recovery. Its multidisciplinary clinical team includes psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists and mental health therapists with deep expertise in trauma, functional impairment and causation analysis following an injury or traumatic event.

Virtually CALM offers a comprehensive range of evidence-based services, including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, psychiatric evaluation and medication management, brief interventions and structured neuropsychological assessments. Each service is delivered using specialized clinical templates designed specifically for personal injury cases—ensuring consistency, clarity and defensibility across documentation.

“Invisible injuries become undeniable when evaluated with intention and expertise,” says Candace Hamiel, chief innovation officer at Virtually CALM.

Access to care is intentionally seamless. Patients can schedule appointments online or by phone, with knowledgeable staff guiding them to the appropriate level of care. Automated reminders reduce missed appointments, while a single-click visit link allows patients to connect with their provider from any device—eliminating the burden of complex logins, lengthy intake forms or technical barriers.

Once enrolled, patients gain access to a secure client portal that houses appointments, provider profiles and complete clinical records. They can review their chart, message providers and request follow-ups in one centralized location. This streamlined experience is especially critical for individuals managing pain, trauma or anxiety following an accident.

Behind the technology is a highly engaged clinical and administrative team committed to both patient comfort and clinical rigor. Providers determine causation, diagnoses and develop individualized treatment plans while adhering to structured documentation frameworks. These plans track symptom severity, functional limitations, treatment response and recovery milestones—creating a longitudinal clinical narrative.

The result is comprehensive reporting that quantifies emotional distress, cognitive impairment and psychological sequelae directly attributable to the injury. These clinically grounded reports assist attorneys and case managers in clearly establishing causation, supporting claims and presenting evidence-based assessments during litigation or settlement discussions.

In one representative case, a patient involved in a serious motor vehicle accident underwent a structured neuropsychological evaluation through Virtually CALM. The assessment identified anxiety, attention deficits and functional impairments linked directly to an accident. Treatment targeted both acute stress and long-term trauma, resulting in significant symptom reduction and restored independence. The legal team cited Virtually CALM’s findings as instrumental in establishing clear causation and long-term impairments.

“Virtually CALM is providing credence to the injuries that can’t always be seen. These mental health injuries run deep and wide in people’s lives and proving them during litigation is paramount to our clients, attorneys and their cases,” says Amy Blakely, founder and CEO.

From its origin as a Florida-based organization, Virtually CALM has expanded to all 50 states in under two years. By partnering with law firms, case managers and healthcare professionals, the company continues to set a new standard for telehealth-based behavioral health services—one where mental injuries are no longer invisible, and recovery is supported with both compassion and clinical precision.
