Trauma-Informed Immigration Evaluations in Michigan

Your story matters. Your experiences matter. Your humanity matters.

At Being Human Group, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed immigration evaluations for individuals navigating the U.S. immigration system. Our goal is to create a safe, respectful space where your experiences can be understood and documented through a clinical lens.

Because being human is hard, and your story deserves to be heard.

What Is an Immigration Evaluation?

A psychological immigration evaluation is a comprehensive assessment completed by a qualified mental health professional to help document the emotional, psychological, and relational impacts of a person’s experiences.

These evaluations may support immigration cases by providing a professional clinical perspective regarding trauma, hardship, mental health symptoms, family relationships, and the impact of potential outcomes.

Evaluations may be requested for cases involving:

  • Extreme hardship waivers

  • Cancellation of removal

  • Asylum cases

  • VAWA-related petitions

  • U visas and T visas

  • Other immigration-related matters where psychological factors may be relevant

Please note: A psychological evaluation does not determine immigration eligibility or legal outcomes. It provides clinical information that may be considered as part of an individual’s case.
