U-Visa & T-Visa Psychological Evaluations in RGV & Texas

---

If you have been the victim of a serious crime or human trafficking in the United States, you may be eligible for legal status through U-Visa or T-Visa. These visas are designed to protect survivors who assist law enforcement while providing a pathway to safety and healing.

A professional Immigration Psychological Evaluation is often the cornerstone of these applications. It translates your personal experience into the clinical, evidence-based language that USCIS adjudicators need to see. 

To qualify for a U-Visa, you must show that you suffered "substantial physical or mental abuse" as a result of a qualifying crime (such as domestic violence, felony assault, or sexual abuse).

My evaluations provide objective proof of this harm by:

• Identifying and diagnosing trauma-related disorders, directly linked to the victimization. such as PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, or Anxiety. 
• Quantifying the Impact by using standardized testing to show how the crime has impaired your ability to work, sleep, and maintain relationships when needed.
• Explaining barriers to testimony by helping the court understand how trauma can affect memory or make it difficult to speak with law enforcement.

For survivors of human trafficking (labor or sex trafficking), a T-Visa evaluation documents the severe emotional and psychological toll of exploitation.

In these cases, I focus on:

• The Psychology of Coercion: Explaining how force, fraud, or coercion were used to maintain control
• Extreme Hardship: Documenting why returning to your home country would cause "unusual and severe harm," including lack of access to mental health care or the risk of re-traumatization
• Functional Impairment: Describing the long-term mental health consequences of trafficking and the necessity of continued support in the U.S.

I provide a safe, trauma-informed environment for survivors to share their stories:

• Through telehealth by serving South Texas (McAllen, Brownsville, Edinburg, Harlingen) and the rest of Texas via secure video sessions.
• Through attorney collaboration by working closely with your legal team to ensure your evaluation meets the specific needs of your case.
• By a fast turnaround with my professional, USCIS-ready reports delivered within 24 hours.
