Asylum Psychological Evaluations

At Nursing The Mind, our comprehensive evaluations document the emotional and psychiatric impact of persecution for individuals seeking asylum, whether based on political asylum claims or other protected grounds. Each evaluation includes a clinical interview and trauma-informed assessment covering PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other conditions connected to the harm you experienced.

Reports are professionally written, confidential, and designed to support your I-589 form filing and your long-term emotional recovery.

Not sure what is asylum or how to apply for asylum in the first place? Asylum protects people who meet the legal definition of a refugee and are already in the U.S. or arriving at the border — a distinction that matters when comparing refugee vs asylum status, since refugee status is typically processed from abroad. Meeting asylum eligibility generally means showing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group, along with meeting the asylum requirements around timing, most notably the one year asylum deadline for filing after arrival.

Our team provides compassionate support throughout the asylum application process, creating clinically grounded psychological evaluations tailored to each case. We begin with a confidential telehealth consultation to understand your history, available nationwide for individuals working toward an eventual asylum green card.

We provide culturally sensitive psychological evaluations for survivors of persecution, violence, and trauma connected to their asylum claim. Each assessment is conducted with care, professionalism, and respect for the client’s background and emotional needs, focused on documenting the psychiatric effects of trauma clearly enough for attorneys and asylum officers to understand.

Clients are treated with compassion, professionalism, and emotional sensitivity throughout the evaluation process, whatever stage of their case they’re in.
