Seeking asylum is a brave and often a difficult journey. To succeed in your Political Asylum case, you must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
A professional Asylum Psychological Evaluation is a critical piece of evidence. It goes beyond your testimony to provide objective, clinical proof of the trauma you have endured and the psychological impact of returning to your home country.
Many asylum seekers struggle with memory gaps or difficulty speaking about their experiences due to trauma. My role is to translate these clinical realities into a report that USCIS and immigration judges can use to understand your case.
As a telehealth provider, I have worked with survivors from the Rio Grande Valley and around the world. I prioritize your safety and comfort at every step.
Whether you are currently in a RGV community like McAllen, Brownsville, or Harlingen, or you are located elsewhere in Texas, I can help. I offer secure Telehealth evaluations for clients statewide.

With your written permission, I can send the final report directly to your immigration attorney to ensure it is integrated into your legal filing before your deadline.
