What is an Immigration Clinical Evaluation?
A mental health evaluation for immigration is a professional document in which your emotional status and stressors are presented. This clinical report demonstrates the extreme hardship, trauma, or any other mental health related disorders caused by an overwhelming situation; such as being separated from a family member or the transition from one country to another as it could result a challenging and stressful experience. This document is done by a licensed professional counselor who has studies in the mental health field and who can also understand the client’s cultural background; this licensed professional counselor can assist individuals and families in their immigration process.
