What is an Immigration Psychological Evaluation?
An Immigration Psychological Evaluation is a mental health assessment conducted by a licensed clinician to report on the psychological impact of an immigrant’s experience to support their legal proceedings in court.
An assessment involves interviews to explore the client’s history and current symptoms/behaviors, psychological testing, and a written report declaring the clinician’s findings.
Imari combines clinical expertise, cultural sensitivity, and a deep respect for the emotional and systemic challenges faced by immigrants and their families. Imari aims to provide compassionate, trauma-informed assessments that help clients share their stories and support their legal cases with clarity and credibility.

What is an eating disorder?
According to the National Institute of Mental Health:
“Eating disorders are serious illnesses marked by severe disturbances in a person’s eating behaviors. Although many people may be concerned about their health, weight, or appearance on occasion, some become fixated or obsessed with weight loss, body weight or shape, and controlling their food intake. These may be signs of an eating disorder.”
Eating Disorders do not discriminate. Eating Disorders do not only happen to a certain type of person, or ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Numerous external and internal factors can impact an individual’s likelihood of developing an Eating Disorder (genetics, biological, psychological, social factors, etc.)

Psychotherapy, in combination with other treatment providers such as dieticians, medical monitoring, medication management, and/or higher levels of care, can be an effective method for treating eating disorders.
