Immigration mental health evaluations · Florida · Telehealth

A careful, bilingual evaluation that tells your story clearly.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with more than eight years of clinical experience in trauma. I prepare mental health evaluations for immigration cases, conducted in English or Spanish by secure video with clients located anywhere in Florida, and I write the report your attorney can use.

Cases I evaluate

Extreme hardship waivers

I-601 and I-601A. Assessment of the emotional, mental health, and practical hardship a qualifying relative would face if separated or relocated.

VAWA

Documentation of abuse and its mental health impact for self-petitions under the Violence Against Women Act.

Asylum

Trauma assessment and its connection to the persecution described, including symptoms that affect memory and testimony.

U visa and T visa

Evaluation of the emotional and mental health harm suffered by victims of qualifying crimes or trafficking.

How it works

  1. Referral or first contact. You or your attorney reach out. We confirm the type of case, the deadline, and the language of the interviews.
  2. Clinical interviews. Usually two to three sessions by secure video, with standardized screening measures when appropriate. Spanish, English, or both.
  3. Written report. A thorough, well-organized evaluation addressing the clinical findings and the specific legal questions in the case. Turnaround and any rush options are agreed at the start.
  4. Follow-up. I remain available to the attorney for clarification. Testimony, if required, is discussed separately.

Evaluations are private pay and are not billed through insurance. The fee and payment schedule are confirmed in writing before the first interview.

For immigration attorneys

Bilingual, trauma-informed evaluations with reports written for legal use: clear diagnostic reasoning, direct connection to the hardship or harm standard, and plain language your adjudicator can follow. Telehealth across Florida means your client does not need to travel.
