What Is a Mental Health Immigration Evaluation?

A mental health immigration evaluation is a comprehensive clinical assessment completed by a licensed mental health professional.

The purpose of the evaluation is to understand how significant life experiences—including trauma, abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking, family separation, victimization, persecution, or prolonged immigration-related stress—have affected an individual's emotional and psychological well-being.

Following the interview, your therapist prepares a detailed written report documenting clinical observations, emotional functioning, and psychological findings when appropriate.

Mental health professionals provide objective clinical documentation but do not determine immigration eligibility or legal outcomes.

Immigration Cases We Evaluate

Nueva Vida Therapy provides immigration evaluations for several types of immigration matters, including:

  • VAWA (Violence Against Women Act)

  • U Visa

  • T Visa

  • I-601 Extreme Hardship Waiver

  • I-601A Provisional Hardship Waiver

  • Cancellation of Removal

Every evaluation is individualized based on each person's history, emotional functioning, and clinical presentation.

Why Your Immigration Attorney May Recommend a Mental Health Evaluation

Depending on the circumstances of your immigration case, your immigration attorney may recommend obtaining a mental health evaluation to help document the emotional and psychological effects of your experiences.

Mental health evaluations provide an objective clinical perspective regarding the impact of trauma, abuse, hardship, victimization, family separation, or prolonged stress.

Only your attorney can advise whether a mental health evaluation is appropriate for your particular immigration matter.
