U-VISA MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION

At KEFI Counseling, we provide professional and trauma-informed U-Visa Mental Health Evaluations for individuals who have been victims of qualifying crimes and are cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of those crimes. These evaluations help document the emotional, psychological, and functional impact of the trauma experienced.

During the evaluation, a licensed mental health professional conducts a thorough clinical interview, reviews the client’s personal and trauma history, and may use standardized assessment tools to identify symptoms such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, or other trauma-related conditions.

A detailed report is then prepared in accordance with USCIS guidelines, describing the psychological effects of the crime, the client’s current mental health status, and the ongoing emotional impact. This report supports U-Visa petitions by providing credible clinical documentation of the trauma’s effects.

At KEFI Counseling, we approach every evaluation with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and confidentiality, ensuring that survivors feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the process.

If a client requires an interpreter for counseling sessions or evaluations, the client will be responsible for any interpreter fees. KEFI Counseling can provide referrals to certified interpretation services upon request.

We are committed to providing accessible and culturally sensitive services. Clients are encouraged to notify us in advance if interpreter services are needed so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
