I am a bilingual (Russian-English) licensed therapist practicing virtually in CA, FL, WA, NC, and CT with 14 years of experience. I specialize in Immigration Evaluations that can significantly enhance asylum, U-visa, T-visa, VAWA, or hardship waiver cases. I have extensive experience conducting psychosocial evaluations for immigration cases, which can dramatically strengthen asylum, VAWA, and hardship waiver applications. I work closely with immigration attorneys to assess the mental health impacts of separation or deportation, document the extreme hardship of a qualifying relative, and evaluate trauma and resilience. The evaluation can help document exceptional circumstances, such as a history of domestic violence, abuse, or other traumatic experiences.
