If you are going through an immigration process, having a mental health evaluation would be highly beneficial. It would help determine if you can legally remain in the US.

​Immigration mental health evaluations and reports can be used for the following immigration proceedings:

• Extreme Hardship Cases
  
• Spousal Abuse Cases (Violence Against Women Act or VAWA)
  
• Political Asylum Cases
  
• U Visas
  
• Citizen Examination Waivers (N-648) (Waiver From Citizenship Examination)
  

I can provide you with an evaluation in either English or Spanish. I can likewise give you a comprehensive report that can be used by your attorney to support your case and create a positive impact on your immigration proceedings.

As a trained psychologist and a licensed mental health counselor, I understand the impact of trauma, loss, emotional abuse, and physical abuse, and I can carefully explain the short-and long-term effects they can cause.

If your attorney recommends that you and/or members of your family undergo an assessment, I would gather all the details and specific legal issues relevant to your case.

Evaluations are typically completed in two sessions. The first session includes a one-to-one interview where you will be asked about the following and more:

• Current Immigration Status
  
• Personal and Family History
  
• Work History
  
• Medical or Psychiatric History
  

There will be a number of psychological instruments to assess your symptoms during the second session. Your results will then be combined with the information gathered from your interview. Afterward, a report will be provided to your attorney.

Service Rates

Because I know immigrations proceedings can be costly and your current situation may involve a financial hardship, I offer a reduced fee for these types of reports. My fee ranges between $600 and $1,200, depending on the type of report you need.
