VAWA Evaluations
A compassionate psychological evaluation documenting the abuse you experienced and its impact—supporting your VAWA self-petition with credible clinical evidence.
When a VAWA Evaluation Helps
The Violence Against Women Act allows certain abused spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to petition for status on their own, without relying on the abuser. Because so much of that abuse is emotional and psychological, documenting its impact is often a key part of the petition.
In a VAWA evaluation, I meet with you in a safe, supportive setting to understand what you experienced and how it has affected you, then document that in a clear clinical report. I work alongside your attorney; the evaluation is supporting evidence, not legal advice, and cannot guarantee an outcome.
