Evaluations for Immigration

Please note: I am not currently accepting new referrals for immigration evaluations.  The information below reflects my previous work and experience in this area and is provided for informational purposes.

For over twenty years, I provided professional and highly trained mental health assessments and evaluations for the following immigration cases:

  • VAWA Petitions
  • Political Asylum
  • U Visas
  • Hardship Waiver
  • Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions

Services are offered in the following languages:

  • English
  • Romanian
  • Moldovian
  • Russian

Throughout my work in immigration-related mental health evaluations, I collaborated with attorneys and law firms representing individuals and families navigating asylum, humanitarian, hardship, and other immigration proceedings.  These collaborations provided valuable opportunities to support immigrant communities and deepen my understanding of the intersection of mental health, trauma, culture, and the legal system.

Professional Testimonials

“Mihaela poured her compassion and therapeutic skills into addressing the needs of many immigrants confronting the often traumatic process of escaping persecution or abuse and rebuilding new lives and identities in a new country.  As an immigration attorney working with asylum seekers and survivors of trafficking and domestic violence, I am happy to have Mihaela in my corner.”

— Immigration Attorney and Former ARCHER Board Member

“Mihaela’s assessment report was instrumental in obtaining approval for an immigration case.  Over the years, she has assisted numerous Romanian and Moldovan clients through therapy services and immigration-related assessments.  She is always the first mental health professional I think of when seeking referrals.”
