Consultation & Screening

Interviews can be completed in person or via secure telehealth.
Psychological Testing (If Needed)
Depending on the case type, standardized psychological tests may be used to support findings.

The evaluator writes a comprehensive psychological evaluation report that includes clinical impressions, diagnostic formulation, and a professional opinion linking your emotional experiences to your immigration case.
