Immigration Evaluations · Evaluaciones de Inmigración

Thoughtful, bilingual mental health evaluations that may support certain immigration cases, in person in San Antonio or online across Texas.

Evaluaciones de salud mental bilingües y compasivas que pueden apoyar ciertos casos de inmigración, en todo Texas.

An immigration evaluation is a structured mental health assessment that focuses on emotional and psychological well-being and provides professional documentation to support your immigration process to support legal cases, including asylum, hardship waivers, VAWA, and U-visas. I conduct these with the same warmth and cultural understanding I bring to therapy, in English or Spanish.
