Immigration Psychological Evaluations

The immigration process is complex, and when your mental health becomes part of the legal record, the pressure can feel intense. Whether you’re applying for a hardship waiver, asylum, VAWA, or a U visa, your evaluation needs to be clinically sound, legally relevant, and handled with care.

I provide immigration psychological evaluations that are thorough, trauma-informed, and aligned with the specific requirements of your case. These are not generic assessments. Each report clearly documents psychological symptoms, relevant history, and diagnostic impressions using language that attorneys and immigration judges can understand and rely on.

You’ll receive a detailed, objective evaluation grounded in professional standards and tailored to support your legal process. My role is to offer a clear, accurate picture of your mental health and how your experiences have affected you—nothing more and nothing less.

Common Questions

What to Expect

Do I need to have an attorney before scheduling an evaluation?
No, but having an immigration attorney can help ensure the evaluation supports your case in the most effective way. I’m happy to collaborate directly with your legal representative if needed.

How long does the evaluation process take?
The clinical interview usually takes up to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of your case. Your completed report will be ready within 14 business days. Expedited options are available for an additional fee.

Will I need more than one session?
Most evaluations are completed in a single session. However, in some cases, especially when there’s a history of trauma or complex documentation, we may schedule a second meeting to ensure your story is captured accurately and thoroughly.

Is everything I share confidential?
Yes. Your privacy matters. All information shared is handled with care and kept confidential in accordance with legal and ethical standards.
