Cultivating a Safe Oasis: An Afternoon with a Cutting-Edge LGBT Immigration Law Firm

1/26/2018

Comments

 
Oasis Legal Services is a new non-profit immigration firm, whos staff tirelessly works to secure a safe haven in the united states for gay, lesbian, and transgender asylum seekers, fleeing violence, torture, and hateful treatment in their countries of origin. their staff members speak fluent Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese. I was initially introduced to oasis legal services through attorney Dustin Bankston, owner of Bankston Immigration Law Office in El Cerrito, California, who worked with Oasis staff members, at the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, in Berkeley, California.

I had the pleasure to join this team of immigration attorneys, volunteers, language interpreters, board accredited representatives, executive board members, and other essential figures, vital in maintaining the success of  this unique and cutting-edge specialty firm. 

In my role as a licensed mental health clinician, i meet many of their clients, who undergo psychological evaluations, for whom i provide a formal written report, which is utilized for their immigration cases. more often than not, i uncover severe incidents of victimization, hate-based targeting, experiences of torture, severe abuse and neglect, and other paralyzingly traumatic experiences. i conduct a comprehensive screening for various mental disorders, of which the primary findings are Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and other trauma-based anxiety disorders, such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). 

Oasis Legal Services held a team meeting to increase connection among their many diverse collaborators, share inspiration, plan for their exciting next steps, and champion the group for social justice. it was a pleasure to meet new team members, and reunite with some old friends.

Oasis Legal Services is a nonprofit immigration firm in Oakland, California who advocates and specializes in the unique immigration needs for the LGBTQIA+ community. Most of their clients are monolingual Spanish speaking survivors of severe forms of violence, torture, hate crimes, and other experiences of cruel discrimination in their countries of origin, solely based on sexual orientation or gender identity. 

To gain asylum in the United States, a psychological evaluation is helpful, and often recommended by immigration attorneys. I am proud to offer psychological evaluations to their clients in Spanish and English, and am honored to have been recognized in their November 2017 newsletter as a respected colleague.
