Our office, conveniently located in Hillsborough, NJ, provides a confidential and welcoming space to share your story.
Domestic Violence (VAWA)
Abuse takes many forms — emotional, financial, verbal, sexual, or physical. A psychological evaluation documents the trauma endured and its emotional impact, offering essential evidence in VAWA petitions for men and women seeking safety and independence.
Victims of Crime
(U Visa)
If you’ve been a victim of a crime and cooperated with law enforcement, a U Visa evaluation can help demonstrate the psychological consequences of your experience. Our reports detail the trauma’s effects on your emotional and functional well-being, supporting your eligibility.
Extreme Hardship
(I-601)
Facing deportation can cause immense emotional strain for both individuals and families. Our extreme hardship evaluations document the mental health and relational impact on qualifying U.S. family members, helping strengthen your attorney’s case for cancellation of removal.
Political & Humanitarian Asylum
For those fleeing persecution, a psychological evaluation for asylum can provide vital support. We carefully assess trauma symptoms, document the effects of persecution, and, when needed, explain delays in filing due to psychological distress — all in accordance with U.S. immigration law.
