For Attorneys and Clients
Immigration psychological evaluations should be clinically grounded, clear, and focused on the legal question. The goal is not generic therapy language, but a careful evaluation that documents symptoms, trauma history, hardship circumstances, functioning, and relevant clinical findings.
With written consent, the office can coordinate with the attorney about deadlines, case type, documentation, and the specific clinical questions the evaluation needs to address.
Referral questions, deadlines, documentation, and case-specific concerns can be reviewed when the client authorizes communication.
Reports are prepared to clearly document clinical findings for the immigration process and attorney review.
Evaluations are available in Serbian, English, and Spanish so clients can describe personal history more accurately.
