U-Visa Psychological Evaluation in Sugar Land, Texas & Statewide

If you’ve been the victim of a crime in the U.S. and have cooperated with law enforcement, you may be eligible for a U-Visa.

This visa offers a path to safety and legal status. A psychological evaluation can help support your case by documenting the emotional and psychological effects of the crime you experienced.

At Motivations Counseling, we provide trauma-informed, USCIS-compliant psychological evaluations for U-Visa applicants across Texas, with telehealth and bilingual services available.

Our physical offices are located in Sugar Land and Katy, but we can conduct an evaluation anywhere in the state. In fact, many of our clients hail from Dallas, Lubbuck, San Antonio, and other far-flung parts of the state. If you're in Texas, we've got you covered!

All of our intake and assessment forms are filled out online and our licenced therapists can easily conduct the evaluation via a HIPAA-secure telehealth platform.

We have bilingual therapists and interpreters that can conduct assessments in your native language!

Our therapists are available to talk to you with short notice often with same-day appointments. Contact us today to schedule an evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a U-Visa psychological evaluation?

A U-Visa psychological evaluation is a clinical assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional. It documents the emotional and psychological effects of a crime you experienced, such as trauma, anxiety, fear, or depression.

The report is submitted with your U-Visa petition to support your case.

Who qualifies for a U-Visa?

You may be eligible for a U-Visa if:

You were a victim of a qualifying crime (e.g., domestic violence, assault, sexual abuse, trafficking)
You have suffered significant emotional or physical harm
You cooperated (or are willing to cooperate) with law enforcement

Do I have to talk about everything that happened?

No. You are always in control of what you share. We use a trauma-informed approach, meaning we go at your pace and focus on understanding how the crime has affected your well-being. You do not have to relive every detail for the evaluation to be valid.

What is the cost of the evaluation and report?

We offer one price for the evaluation and report--the cost is $850. This includes one up to 90-minute assessment with a licensed therapist and writing the report for the court.

If you need the evaluation conducted in another language, there may be an additional fee of $150. This is for situations where a bilingual therapist is unavailable and an interpreter will be required.

How long will it take to schedule the immigration evaluation?

Once you are ready to get started we will ask you to fill out some client paperwork and schedule an appointment for the therapists conduct the assessment.

In some cases, we will have a therapist available to talk to you the same day you complete the intake forms.

How long will it take to get my report?
