From the corporate world to clinical psychology
Before psychology, Dr. Benejam was an industrial engineer and an executive across Latin America. He lived in Puerto Rico, Mexico and Venezuela, which shaped something central to his work today: a firsthand understanding of what it means to start over in a new country.
He earned his doctorate and master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from an APA-approved program and trained at the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital, with a focus on trauma and PTSD. Since then his practice has centered on psychological evaluations, therapy and independent medical exams, and he has testified as an expert in hearings and depositions.
How he works
An evaluation, not an interrogation
Most people arrive nervous, afraid of being judged or of not remembering details. Dr. Benejam starts by explaining every step, then he listens. Nothing is rushed.
He combines a clinical interview, standardized psychological instruments and the documents in your case. His report connects what he found with the legal criteria the judge or officer has to apply, and it states what the evaluation found: nothing more, nothing less.
