I have a wide range of professional experience which led me to doing psychological evaluations. I have previously worked in psychiatric facilities, hospitals and outpatient clinics, with homeless families and children in group homes. My 9+ years of mental health experience involved work with individuals of various cultural backgrounds. In addition, I have an alternate career of over 12 years in administration and program support. I have strong clinical analysis skills and enjoy report writing. I want my clients to feel at ease quickly and know that their case is my priority during our short time together. I have experience testifying in immigration court and it would be my pleasure to help you.

Alejandra (Alex) Casillas is a bicultural, bilingual therapist born in Los Angeles and raised between the U.S. and Mexico. Her personal connection to migration and cultural adaptation, combined with years of experience as a domestic violence and sexual assault advocate, uniquely informs her approach to immigration evaluations.
Before becoming a therapist, Alex worked closely with immigrant survivors, helping them secure safety, access vital resources, and apply for U-visas and VAWA visas. This advocacy work gave her first-hand insight into the emotional and legal challenges clients face.
Today, she offers trauma-informed, culturally sensitive evaluations for asylum, hardship waivers, VAWA cases, U-visas, and T-visas. Her evaluations are thorough, respectful, and grounded in each client’s truth, ensuring their story is presented with dignity and clarity. Alex is committed to helping clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout this important process.

I have been trained to provide psychosocial evaluations for both humanitarian/trauma based cases and hardship waivers. I speak both Spanish and English and previously have experience working as a paralegal for an immigration lawyer and am familiar with the various legal processes of filing for status.
My approach aims to work closely with both client and attorney to provide quality detailed reports. Throughout the evaluation, I strive to offer a compassionate and supportive environment as I know it can be challenging to discuss the traumatic event(s).
Assessments include 1-2 interviews and a final report. I have more immediate availability for clients who want to see an evaluator sooner rather than later.
*I hold a limited number of pro-bono, sliding scale and/or discounted psycho-social evaluations. Payment plans available as needed*

I'm a LCSW in practice since 2011. I am fluent in Spanish. I have advanced training through the Immigration Evaluation Institute. I'm able to offer evaluations for Extreme Hardship Waiver, Cancellation of Removal, Asylum, VAWA, U-Visa and T-Visa cases.
I have a great deal of experience working with individuals who have experienced significant trauma, so my approach is sensitive and compassionate. Many of my past clients have been immigrants from Latin America but I also have experience working with people from all over the world so I understand how important it is to be culturally responsive. I offer services in both English and Spanish but am also able to work with interpreters for clients who speak other languages.
