IMMIGRATION PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS
Immigration Psychological Evaluations serve as an important aspect of the immigration process, providing crucial insights into an individual’s mental health and overall well-being. They are an essential step in obtaining legal status in the U.S., but it does not guarantee success. These evaluations can help a court determine whether an individual and/or their family can lawfully remain in the U.S. These evaluations are instrumental in determining an applicant’s eligibility for immigration benefits, asylum, or other legal considerations.
Blooming Harmony Therapy recognizes the profound impact these evaluations can have on an individual’s life, for this reason, each evaluation is addressed from a trauma-informed lens, one that helps create a safe space to share your story. At Blooming Harmony Therapy we address these evaluations with the utmost care and professionalism possible so that your story and your voice is heard.

All meetings are conducted via telehealth, with evening and weekend availability.

This evaluation helps identify symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions commonly experienced by refugees and asylum seekers.
EXTREME HARDSHIP
A psychological evaluation for Extreme Hardship assesses the impact on the individual if a separation from a family member occurs due to a non-citizen visa being denied. This evaluation helps the immigration court have a better understanding of the impact on the individual’s mental health, medical necessity, financial burden, and educational concerns.
U-VISA
An immigration psychological evaluation for U-Visa assesses mental or physical abuse toward the individual who has been a victim of a qualifying crime such as sexual abuse, sexual harassment, abduction, extortion, fraud, false imprisonment, rape, stalking, murder, torture, hostage and blackmail. This evaluation helps assess the impact of abuse on the individual and is used when filing for a nonimmigrant visa set aside for victims that are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.
T-VISA
A psychological evaluation for T-Visa assesses hardship and mental abuse to individuals who have been victims of human trafficking.
