I'm Heather D. Vest, a licensed therapist specializing in immigration psychosocial evaluations. With over 12 years of experience and holding a MS in Mental Health Counseling, I am committed to offering personalized and effective services.
My expertise in trauma therapy, gained through volunteering at organizations such as Midland Rape Crisis and Children's Advocacy Center and Rays of Hope, informs my approach to immigration evaluations. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can freely explore their experiences. I provide comprehensive evaluations that address psychological, emotional, and social factors.
Offering virtual and phone evaluations ensures accessibility and convenience for clients. My goal is to support individuals in navigating the immigration process with confidence and resilience. Together, we'll work towards a comprehensive understanding of your psychosocial background, empowering you to pursue your immigration goals.
