Compassionate Mental Health Evaluations For Immigration Cases Throughout California.
An immigration mental health evaluation is a professional assessment that looks at a person’s experiences, emotional well-being, and how those experiences may have affected their daily life. The evaluation includes a conversation about personal history, mental health, and current concerns, with the information summarized in a written report.
Your immigration attorney will determine whether an evaluation is appropriate for your situation and the type of evaluation that may be needed. We're happy to answer questions about the evaluation process and help you schedule the appropriate appointment.
