Use your clinical skills to support immigrant families through high-stakes evaluations. Understand your role, your responsibilities, and how to approach this work with clarity and care.

If you’ve heard about immigration evaluations, or have been approached about a case, you’ve likely wondered:

• What exactly is an immigration evaluation?
• Am I qualified to do this type of work?
• What is my role as a [school] psychologist in a legal case?
• How is this different from the evaluations I already conduct?
• Where do I even begin?

Who this is for

• Psychologists and school psychologists in private practice interested in expanding their scope of work

• Clinicians who are curious about immigration evaluations and want to understand where to begin

• Professionals seeking clarity on their role within legal cases and how this differs from traditional evaluations

• Evaluators committed to practicing within ethical and professional standards

• Psychologists who want to use their expertise to support individuals and families navigating immigration processes

Hello! I'm Monica

I have degrees in school psychology and clinical psychology, with a concentration in neuropsychology. Our team at Monica Oganes & Associates, with offices in Miami and Orlando, focuses on comprehensive evaluations, including immigration evaluations that support children and families navigating complex legal processes.

We have been conducting immigration evaluations since 2013 and have worked closely with attorneys to provide thorough, trauma-informed, and legally relevant reports, as well as expert testimony when needed. Our work is grounded in clinical expertise, ethical practice, and evidence-based approaches, with careful documentation and a clear understanding of the psychologist’s role within these cases.

In addition to our clinical work, I provide training and consultation to psychologists, including school psychologists and neuropsychologists, who want to expand their practice in a thoughtful, ethical, and culturally competent way.

I created this training to give you a clear understanding of this work and your role in it, and to help you determine whether this is an area of practice you may want to pursue, particularly given the significant need for qualified professionals in this field.
