The evaluation process typically includes:
- Comprehensive clinical interview: A licensed psychologist will discuss your background, immigration history, family circumstances, and the potential impact of deportation.
- Mental health assessment: Evaluation for symptoms such as depression, post-traumatic stress, or anxiety, which may result from trauma, fear, or family separation.
- Collateral information review: When applicable, review of medical records, legal documents, or statements from family members to support the findings.
- Detailed report preparation: A written report that summarizes findings, diagnoses (if applicable), and a professional opinion on how deportation would affect the applicant and their family.
All sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth to ensure privacy, accessibility, and comfort.
