Benefits of a psychological evaluation
Professional Immigration Evaluations by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Compassionate, Thorough, and Professional Immigration Evaluations
The immigration process can be one of the most stressful and emotionally overwhelming experiences a person or family will ever face. Whether you're worried about being separated from a loved one, trying to rebuild your life after surviving violence or persecution, or facing uncertainty about your future, you may be carrying an emotional burden that feels impossible to put into words.
You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma related to violence or persecution, the effects of domestic violence, childhood abuse, or the ongoing fear of family separation. Many individuals have spent years living with uncertainty, carrying the emotional weight of their immigration journey while trying to remain strong for themselves and their families.
A comprehensive immigration psychological evaluation provides an opportunity to share your story in a safe, compassionate, and professional setting. The evaluation documents your personal history, current emotional struggles, and the psychological impact of your experiences, helping your attorney present a more complete picture of how your immigration circumstances have affected your mental and emotional well-being.

Who needs an immigration psychological evaluation?
Not every immigration case requires a psychological evaluation.

Yes. I provide the clinical interviews with the patients in both English and Spanish.
The Immigration Psychological Evaluation Report is written in English.
Why Psychological Evaluations Matter
A comprehensive immigration psychological evaluation can:
✔ Document emotional hardship, trauma, and mental health concerns.
✔ Provide objective clinical documentation of the psychological impact of your experiences.
✔ Explain how separation, deportation, trauma, or other immigration-related circumstances have affected your emotional well-being.
✔ Present professional clinical findings based on a comprehensive psychological evaluation.
✔ Help decision-makers better understand the emotional and psychological impact of your experiences.
These evaluations provide objective clinical documentation that may assist decision-makers in understanding the emotional and psychological effects of an individual's immigration-related experiences.
How long does the evaluation process take?
The evaluation depends on your individual case, but most clients can expect:
- Approximately 2 or more hours of evaluation time.
- The evaluation can be completed in:
- One 2-hour session, or
- Two sessions of 1-hour, scheduled over two weeks.
- During your telephone call to our office, we'll discuss the schedule that works best for you.
How long does it take to receive my evaluation report?
Your completed psychological evaluation is typically ready within approximately two weeks after your final appointment.
*If you have an urgent court or filing deadline, expedited reports may be available in less than one week for an additional fee. Please let us know as early as possible if you need expedited service.
Are appointments available by telehealth or in person?
Yes. I currently provide secure telehealth appointments for clients located anywhere in California.
When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a private, secure link to join your session, similar to a Zoom or video call. Your telehealth appointment is conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to help protect your privacy and confidentiality.
Is everything I share confidential?
Yes. Your information is confidential and protected according to applicable privacy laws and professional standards. With your written permission, I can also communicate with your attorney regarding your evaluation.
Do you work with immigration attorneys?
Yes. I frequently collaborate with immigration attorneys and, with your written authorization, can coordinate directly with your legal team throughout the evaluation process.
*Once your evaluation is completed, and with your written authorization, I will send the report directly to your attorney by secure email or USPS Priority Mail, depending on your attorney's preference.
What happens during the evaluation?
We'll discuss your personal history, immigration history, emotional experiences, current symptoms, and other information relevant to your case. If appropriate, psychological questionnaires may also be included as part of the evaluation.
Do you guarantee that my immigration case will be approved?
No. A psychological evaluation is one part of an immigration case and cannot guarantee any legal outcome. The purpose of the evaluation is to provide objective clinical documentation of your psychological functioning and the emotional impact of your experiences.
