The immigration process is complex, and most individuals working through it don’t have nearly the level of support they deserve. This is especially true for victims of domestic abuse who suffer violence in silence for fear of deportation. At Vicalex Behavioral Health & Immigration Services, I specialize in providing Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) mental health evaluations and other immigration mental health evaluations to support individuals navigating complex immigration processes in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

What Is a VAWA Mental Health Evaluation?

For those applying for permanent residency under the Violence Against Women Act, mental health evaluations play a crucial role. A VAWA mental health evaluation is a detailed assessment designed to document the emotional and mental health effects of domestic abuse, providing compelling evidence to support your case.

Why Trust Vicalex Behavioral Health & Immigration Services?

With over 27 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring expertise and cultural sensitivity to every evaluation.  Furthermore, my clinical reports are recognized by immigration attorneys and authorities for their thoroughness and accuracy, making them an essential component of successful VAWA cases. My evaluations include:

• A comprehensive clinical interview to explore your history and experiences
• mental health assessments to identify symptoms of trauma, anxiety, or depression
• A well-crafted, professional report tailored for submission to immigration authorities

These evaluations are conducted virtually via a secure telehealth platform, ensuring privacy and convenience.
