This evaluation aims to assess the psychological impact of the crime on the applicant and will consider various aspects of their mental health and overall well-being.

Therapeutic immigration evaluations for asylum claims are essential in providing a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s mental health status and the impact of their experiences on their overall well-being. At Casa Galenia, we recognize that the journey of seeking asylum can be fraught with trauma, stress, and uncertainty, making it crucial to approach these evaluations with compassion and care.
Through a People In the Environment (PIE) lens, we consider not only the psychological effects of displacement and persecution but also the socio-cultural and environmental factors at play
Clients undergoing therapeutic immigration evaluations can expect a warm and welcoming space where they can share their stories without fear or judgment. Our trained professionals employ trauma-informed practices, ensuring that every individual feels safe and understood. This holistic method allows us to uncover the complex layers of their experiences and presents an accurate reflection of their mental health needs.
Moreover, these evaluations result in detailed reports that effectively communicate the individual’s psychological state to immigration authorities and legal representatives.
