Do You Need a Clinical Immigration Evaluation?

Immigration cases can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and emotionally exhausting. If you have been asked to complete a psychological or clinical evaluation, you may feel nervous, confused, or unsure of what this process involves. You are not alone.

A clinical immigration evaluation provides professional mental health documentation that can support your case in court. These evaluations help show the emotional, psychological, and personal impact of your situation so that your experience is clearly understood.

How These Evaluations Can Help You

A clinical evaluation can make your case stronger by helping your attorney present accurate and meaningful information to the court. These evaluations often support cases such as:

• Extreme hardship waivers
• VAWA cases involving domestic violence
• Political asylum cases
• T visa cases for victims of forced labor
• U visa cases for victims of crime

Your story matters. A detailed evaluation allows your attorney to show the human side of your experience with clinical support.

Why Clients and Attorneys Trust My Immigration Evaluations

When your future is at stake, you deserve to work with someone who understands both the clinical and human side of your story. I bring extensive experience in trauma, grief, and mental health assessment, allowing each evaluation to be thorough, respectful, and court-ready.

I have worked with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and understand the emotional weight immigration cases can carry. Every evaluation is completed with care, professionalism, and attention to detail, so your story is represented clearly and accurately.

What to Expect From the Evaluation Process

Step 1

Schedule a brief consultation
We will discuss your situation and determine what type of evaluation is needed for your case.

Step 2

Book your clinical evaluation
A deposit is required to reserve your appointment. This deposit is applied toward your total evaluation cost.

Step 3

Complete your background paperwork
Before your first session, you will complete a questionnaire. You will also be asked to sign a release form so I can communicate with your attorney when appropriate.

Step 4

Clinical interviews and testing

Session 1: A 1.5-hour clinical interview with diagnostic testing

Session 2: A 1.5-hour follow-up session with additional testing and possibly interviewing family members if needed

Session 3 (optional): Additional support sessions for emotional processing, referrals, or complex case needs

Final Psychological Report

After the interviews and assessments are complete, I prepare a detailed clinical report for your case. This report is sent to you and your attorney.


Most reports are completed within 3 to 4 weeks. If you need your report sooner, you can request expedited processing during your consultation. Please note that complex cases or unpaid balances may affect report timelines. You will be notified if any delays occur.


Your first session is gentle, respectful, and completely confidential. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready for. You will be guided through each part of the process at your own pace, with care and professionalism.

This is a safe space to tell your story. You will be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect from the very beginning.

A Gentle and Confidential First Step


  • Most evaluations are completed over one to two sessions, plus time for the final written report.
