Immigration Mental Health Evaluations
IVON ANAYA
I am a NY based immigration attorney. I have referred several clients to Mrs. Olave-Guillermo for a psychological evaluation and my experience has been the best. She has ample expertise in her field. The reports are detailed and well-written. My client’s asylum application was granted and was in part, due to the psyc evaluation. Thanks Claudia!! You are the best
Psychotherapy Practice (Colleague Perspective)
Kimberly Bacon
have worked with and known Claudia for many years. Claudia is a wonderful therapist and human being! In her nurturing and empathetic way, Claudia has been able to help individuals understand their trauma, learn new & healthy coping skills so that they can begin to heal.
Working collaboratively with Claudia, I have also witnessed her being a strong advocate. She will fight very hard for those who she is working with, so that they can get the right service.
I full-heartedly would recommend Claudia for services. (I have in the past and will again!!)
