FORENSIC EVALUATIONs

Dr. Vanounts provides comprehensive forensic psychological evaluations for immigration and legal proceedings. These evaluations are conducted with clinical rigor, cultural sensitivity, and a trauma-informed approach, and are prepared to meet legal and court-related standards.

Services Offered

• Immigration psychological evaluations (VAWA, Asylum, Extreme Hardship, U-Visa, T-Visa)

• Attorney-referred and court-ordered psychological assessments

• Trauma-focused and psychosocial evaluations

The Evaluation Process

Evaluations typically include a clinical interview, psychological screening measures when appropriate, review of relevant records, and a detailed written report. Reports clearly document psychological symptoms, diagnoses when applicable, and the emotional impact of trauma or hardship using language appropriate for legal and adjudicative settings.

Clinical & Professional Approach

All evaluations are conducted by a licensed psychotherapist with extensive experience in trauma, cross-cultural work, and forensic documentation. The process is respectful, thorough, and grounded in ethical and professional standards.

Attorney Collaboration

I work closely with attorneys to ensure evaluations address the specific legal questions of each case while maintaining clinical independence and objectivity.
