Immigration Evaluations in Texas

I am a licensed therapist specializing in immigration psychological evaluations for individuals and families across Texas. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I understand the unique challenges and emotional weight the immigration process can place on families. This lived experience, combined with my professional training, allows me to approach each evaluation with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and clinical expertise.

My goal is to not only provide a detailed and professional report that strengthens your case, but also to create a supportive space where your story is heard and valued. Whether you are seeking an evaluation for a hardship waiver, asylum, a U visa, or a T visa, I am here to guide you through the process with empathy and professionalism.

 Important info:

While a psychological evaluation can provide powerful support for your immigration case, please note that the evaluator cannot guarantee the outcome of your case. Even so, these evaluations are often a key component in the immigration process.

Reports are typically 10–20+ pages in length and are customized to address the specific questions relevant to your situation. Standard completion time for an evaluation and report is about 10 to 14 days, depending on urgency.

Evaluations are available in English and Spanish. If another language is needed, clients must arrange for their own interpreter.
