Cecilia Racine, LCSW, founded Immigration Evaluation Institute to support clinicians conducting immigration psychological evaluations through practical training and resources.
Conducting immigration evaluations creates a real, measurable difference in the outcome of cases.
In fact, If asylum-seekers get an evaluation done, their chances of being granted asylum almost doubles.

Are you a therapist that conducts immigration evaluations?
Hi, I’m Cecilia Racine.
I teach therapists how to help immigrants.
As a bilingual immigrant myself, I know the unique perspective that these clients are experiencing. I’m an LCSW with 20 years of experience. I’m licensed in MD, VA, and DC, am certified as a social work supervisor, and experienced in a variety of trauma modalities, including EMDR.
Over the years, I’ve conducted over 500 evaluations and worked with dozens of lawyers in the various states.
Immigrants are my passion, I believe they add to the fabric of our country.
