Migration Evaluation services
About Us
Our Mission
We are committed to helping immigrants tell their stories of persecution with a thoughtful, objective, and culturally-sensitive approach. Our evaluations seek to uncover the lasting impact of these experiences, developing a detailed account to guide the immigration court process.
Through the trauma-informed clinical interview, psychological immigration evaluations provide clients with a platform to tell their story in an understanding and humanizing manner. Objective measures validated by research give valuable data for guiding decisions about legal cases. It is our aim that this process can be empowering for each client as it also serves therapeutic purposes; liberating them from reliving past experiences while helping inform important case outcomes. Our team offers high quality evaluations in English, French, and other languages with interpreters.

Gender Affirming Surgery Evaluations
At HOME, we understand that everyone's gender story is unique and important. All of us deserve to feel accepted and at ease in our own skin. That’s why it is important to us that all those seeking an attestation letter for surgery have a chance to connect with one of our mental health providers for an evaluation tailored specifically for them. During the session, you'll be encouraged to explore topics such as your gender narrative, feelings about being in your own body, social supports in your life, the surgery and/or surgeries you are considering, and your understanding of the potential risks and benefits associated with undergoing medical interventions. Our goal is to ensure each person feels comfortable expressing their individual experience while feeling supported throughout every step of this journey.
