Immigration Evaluations

Psychological Evaluations to Support Your Immigration Case

If you’re involved in immigration proceedings—such as applying for asylum, a hardship waiver, or protection under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)—a psychological evaluation can be an essential piece in sharing your story. With nearly 15 years of experience providing therapy and psychological evaluations, I bring clinical depth and a nuanced understanding of how these assessments can impact legal outcomes.

I have received specialized training in immigration evaluations and am knowledgeable about the USCIS standards and expectations for these reports. This ensures that your evaluation is not only clinically sound but also aligned with the guidelines required for immigration cases, giving it the clarity and relevance it needs to support your application.

My decision to offer immigration evaluations comes from a deep commitment to social justice and a belief that everyone deserves to have their story heard and understood. I recognize how these evaluations can be a vital piece in seeking safety, stability, and a more secure future.

Why a Psychological Evaluation Matters

A psychological evaluation can provide a critical layer of support and documentation that legal evidence alone may not fully capture. Without an evaluation, important aspects of your story—such as the emotional impact of past trauma, the psychological toll of family separation, or the ways chronic stress affects your daily life—may be overlooked.

A well-conducted evaluation can:

• Validate your experiences with standardized clinical data

• Link your mental health directly to the legal criteria that USCIS and the courts consider

• Provide credible, professional evidence that can significantly strengthen your case

By clearly documenting how your mental health intersects with your immigration claim, an evaluation can be the difference between an application that is fully understood and one that is missing essential context.
