Hola, I’m Dr. Giselle Soler Lopez, a Licensed Psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting immigrant communities. As a daughter of immigrants myself, I understand the complexities of migration, cultural identity, and the systemic barriers many immigrant individuals face. My private practice focuses on providing comprehensive psychological evaluations for immigration cases and consultation for individuals and organizations working with immigrants. I have extensive experience as a forensic evaluator and former Clinical Director at a nonprofit serving immigrant survivors of torture, where I successfully conducted evaluations for individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. My expertise allows me to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive assessments that highlight the psychological impact of persecution, displacement, and family separation. I specialize in conducting trauma-informed and culturally responsive evaluations for Asylym, Hardship Waivers, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), U Visa, T Visa, Cancelation of Removal, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). My approach is compassionate, thorough, and grounded in an understanding of the unique challenges immigrants face. I strive to provide an affirming space where clients feel heard and supported throughout this critical process. In addition to evaluations, I offer consultation services for therapists, attorneys, and organizations working with immigrant populations. I can provide guidance or training on working with trauma survivors, navigating cross-cultural considerations, or improving clinical documentation for immigration cases. If you are an individual in need of an evaluation or a professional seeking expert consultation, I invite you to connect with me.
