Immigration Evaluations
Navigating the immigration process can bring uncertainty, stress, and emotional challenges for individuals and families. At Cultural Refuge Counseling, I offer compassionate, culturally responsive immigration psychosocial evaluations in Austin, Texas, with care and respect for each person's unique story, cultural background, and lived experiences.
These evaluations explore the psychological and emotional impact of circumstances related to immigration proceedings, including trauma, family separation, and other significant life experiences, as relevant to the evaluation. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, recognizing that mental health cannot be separated from the cultural, familial, and systemic factors that shape our lives.
My goal is to provide a thorough, individualized psychosocial assessment that communicates your experiences and their psychological impact with clarity, professionalism, and compassion.
Working with an immigration attorney is required when working with me for immigration psychosocial evaluation services, along with a signed Release of Information (ROI), so I can coordinate with your attorney as appropriate.
You deserve to have your story heard and understood. Cultural Refuge Counseling is committed to creating a respectful space where your experiences are approached with cultural humility, clinical care, and dignity.

Given the evolving nature of immigration policies and procedures, I require all clients seeking immigration psychosocial evaluation to be working with an immigration attorney. A signed Release of Information (ROI) is also required so I can coordinate with your attorney, as appropriate, to ensure the evaluation is thorough, relevant, and aligned with the needs of your case.
Dada la naturaleza cambiante de las políticas y los procedimientos de inmigración, requiero que todos los clientes que soliciten una evaluación psicosocial para fines migratorios cuenten con la asesoría de un abogado de inmigración. Asimismo, es necesario presentar una autorización firmada para la divulgación de información (ROI, por sus siglas en inglés), lo cual me permitirá coordinar con su abogado —según corresponda— para garantizar que la evaluación sea exhaustiva, pertinente y esté alineada con las necesidades de su caso.
