Hello, I’m Yvelande Boursiquot, LICSW and founder of Serene Way Therapy & Wellness Center. I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive immigration evaluations for individuals navigating some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. As a first-generation Haitian American, fluent in Haitian Creole, Spanish, and English, I specialize in working with immigrants, asylum seekers, survivors of violence, and families facing separation.
I blend clinical expertise with a strong knowledge of immigration systems to deliver thorough, legally sound evaluations for asylum, hardship waivers, VAWA, and U/T visa cases.
Healing with purpose. Advocating with heart.
I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, with services available in-person and via telehealth across MA and RI. Whether you’re an attorney seeking a trusted evaluator or a client needing to be heard, I’m here to support your journey.

Welcome, my name is Carolina Diaz, LCSW (she/her). As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia, I draw on nearly 20 years of experience supporting children, youth, and families to provide high-quality psychological evaluations for immigration cases.
I offer detailed reports for VAWA, U-Visa, T-Visa, and Hardship Waiver proceedings. These comprehensive evaluations document trauma, clarify mental health diagnoses, and detail the potential impact of family separation.
My goal is to make these vital services accessible. I offer quick turnaround times, expedited options, and flexible evening and weekend availability. To break down common barriers, I also provide affordable evaluations, language support, and remote (telehealth) sessions.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with diagnostic privilege, and a National Certified Counselor, licensed in NY, NH and FL. I have a passion for this work as a first-generation American in a family of immigrants, with a keen understanding of cultural sensitivity. In my work with clients, I tailor my approach to honor their individual experiences and needs while maintaining a high standard of professional care. My immigration evaluations are comprehensive, typically taking 2-3 hours across 1-2 sessions to create detailed, clinically focused reports. Each written report spans 12-18 pages, always meeting USCIS standards. All sessions are conducted either in-person in New York (my office is located in Garden City, NY), or virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to ensure privacy and convenience.

When everything is on the line, your client deserves an evaluation that makes decision-makers stop and feel the human impact behind the case. I provide trauma-informed Immigration Mental Health Evaluations that honor each person’s story with dignity, cultural respect, and clarity. Clients often tell me they finally felt understood and not rushed, judged, or pressured. I create a calm, safe space where they can share their experiences at their own pace, and I translate their journey into a clear, clinically sound report that supports the legal strategy. What makes my work different is my ability to balance heart with structure. I protect the client’s emotional wellbeing while delivering evaluations that are thorough, organized, and attorney-friendly. My goal is simple, to help clients feel seen and supported while strengthening the case with a report that holds weight.
