Psychological Evaluations for Immigration

Are you in need of a psychological evaluation at the request of an immigration attorney?

·       Are you in a relationship with someone whose immigration status is uncertain, or in danger of being revoked?

·       Are you in process to seek U-Visa or T-Visa?

·       Are you applying for a Domestic/Spousal Abuse Waiver (VAWA)?

You may be afraid that your or your partner’s request for immigration will be denied. Maybe your financial situation will be in jeopardy if your spouse is forced to leave the country. Maybe you are afraid of how deportation will affect your children.

As a Hispanic immigrant therapist, I specialize in working with families who are struggling with these issues. Your fears are perfectly valid, and I can work with you to create a comprehensive and thorough psychological assessment that will help expose your case.

Lots of people – most, even – deal with stress in their lives to some degree, but the stress associated with questionable immigration status is different. It’s lying awake at night, tossing and turning, not knowing if circumstances beyond your control will force your loved one out of the country; wondering how you’ll manage all your bills if your spouse gets deported and leaves you the de-facto breadwinner. Wondering how your kids will cope the loss of one parent in their lives.

A psychological evaluation will address these fears and the emotional impact that this separation can cause. 

You not only need to talk with someone who is equipped to help you legally, but someone who can work with you based on your unique situation. Thankfully, as a bilingual therapist who specializes in immigration cases, I can help you navigate through those treacherous waters at an affordable rate.

What sets me apart from other experts in this field 

I have the experience – over ten years’ worth – to fully understand your situation. 

After graduating with my Masters in Clinical Counseling, I worked for several years as a psychotherapist at an outpatient community mental health agency. During that time, I provided psychological assessments and treatment for adults and children struggling with a wide range of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as well as domestic violence, substance abuse, separation from loved ones, and dislocation. I also gained experience assessing children’s attachments to their parents, as well as treating many children who had been separated from one or both parents, for various reasons.

Beginning in 2012, I started a private practice that focuses on providing psychotherapy services to Spanish-speaking families in the Denver Metro area. As part of my private practice, I regularly conduct psychological evaluations to assess symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder relative to extreme hardship, VAWA , U-Visa and T-Visa.

But an important fact you should know about me is that I am a Hispanic immigrant; I know firsthand how difficult this period is for individuals and families. Not only that, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, ensuring that you and your partner can communicate as clearly as possible. 

Let me help you navigate this process.
