To assess an individual’s mental health status and its potential impact in their immigration case; to document psychological hardships that may result from deportation or separation from family members; to evaluate trauma or persecution experienced in their home country; for individuals seeking hardship waivers; VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) petitioners to provide evidence of abuse and its psychological impact; U Visa applicants, to support claims of having suffered substantial mental or physical abuse as a result of being a victim of certain crimes; and individuals seeking cancellation of removal.

The evaluation typically involves a clinical interview, psychological testing, and a review of relevant documents. After all assessments are complete, the mental health provider writes a detailed report that includes findings, psychological diagnoses (if applicable), and a professional opinion. The final report outlines how the client’s mental health has been affected by past experiences or potential consequences of immigration-related decisions (such as deportation). The report is then submitted to the attorney to support the client’s immigration case.

My response would be YES, but I always recommend consulting with your attorney first. An immigration psychological evaluation carries significant weight in immigration proceedings. A well-prepared evaluation can provide the court with a clearer understanding of the individual’s psychological state, which can be essential when determining eligibility for relief.

After you complete your part, it takes 7 to 21 business days for me to have the report ready.

Play Therapy is generally recommended for children ages 3 to 12, but it can also be helpful for teens who communicate better through symbolic or creative play.

Play Therapy can support children experiencing: 

• Anxiety or depression 
• Behavioral issues 
• Academic or social difficulties 
• Family changes (divorce, relocation, loss) 
• Trauma or abuse 
• Low self-esteem or frustration management

Most sessions are individual to allow the child to express themselves freely, but parents may join follow-up sessions to review progress and learn strategies to support their child at home.

Each child progresses at their own pace, but most develop improved emotional regulation, empathy, communication, and healthier problem-solving skills.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
