Founder and Executive Director of Familias Unidas Counseling Center
“Hello everyone!
I am Amanda Banda, the founder of Familias Unidas Counseling Center. I immigrated to the United States with my family, and I know firsthand how difficult it is to be an immigrant. Like many of you, I arrived with a small suitcase and the hope of achieving the American Dream. My mother worked hard in a factory to pay for my education, and with a lot of effort from both of us, I graduated three times from the prestigious University of Southern California (USC).”
A choice that makes the difference.
Here is what our customers say.
Our team is available to assist you during our operating hours from Monday to Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
We look forward to hearing from you!

An immigration psychological evaluation is a clinical assessment conducted for legal purposes. It may help document emotional, psychological, or trauma-related factors relevant to an immigration case.
These evaluations are commonly used in:
• Extreme Hardship Waivers
• Asylum Cases
• VAWA Petitions
• U-Visas / T-Visas
• Cancellation of Removal
Immigration psychological evaluations are not therapy and do not establish an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
Our role is to:
• Conduct a clinical interview
• Assess psychological functioning
• Document relevant symptoms and experiences
• Provide a professional clinical opinion
• Prepare a psychological report for legal use
We do not:
• Provide legal advice
• Determine eligibility for immigration relief
• Recommend which type of evaluation you need
• Guarantee case outcomes
• Provide court testimony or appear as expert witnesses
Clients must come informed about the specific type of evaluation they are seeking (e.g., asylum, hardship waiver, VAWA, U-Visa, etc.), typically with guidance from their attorney.
We are not attorneys and cannot advise on what type of evaluation is appropriate for your case.
All legal decisions are made by your attorney and immigration authorities.
We aim to provide a clear and supportive experience:
We strive to support client understanding throughout the process.
Clients are responsible for:
• Providing accurate and complete information
• Notifying us of any factual corrections or concerns
• Asking questions if any part of the report is unclear
Information shared during the evaluation is treated with professional care; however:
We do not guarantee any immigration outcome.
We understand that this process can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make it as clear and supportive as possible.
