Experience

1. Owner, Clinical Social Worker, and Trainer of Mental Health Professionals

   Immigration Evaluation Institute

   Nov 2018 — Present

   WHAT I DO & WHY IT WORKS: I develop and train mental health clinicians to support immigrants by teaching them how to conduct evaluations for various types of cases, including: Extreme hardship waivers Cancellation of removal cases Asylum Cases Violence Against Women Act Cases U&T Visa Cases. I do this through an intensive online curriculum, ongoing support, and continued education via a robust online community, webinars, 1-on-1 consultations, and a providers’ directory. I’ve conducted over 300 evaluations and worked with dozens of lawyers throughout the U.S. This allows me to understand what clients find valuable and ensure the training is relevant. As an immigrant, I possess a unique perspective that many of my competitors lack. I can empathize with what my clients are experiencing, including leaving behind loved ones, one’s culture, and what’s familiar. WHAT PAST STUDENTS SAY: “Cecilia Racine’s courses for mastering immigration evaluations have been invaluable; she offers comprehensive and specialized, self-paced courses that you can take at your convenience. Her courses are worth your investment to offer the best possible services to your clients.” – Dr. Carolina Jimenez, Licensed Bilingual Psychologist “Thank you so much for offering the course. I just completed it yesterday. So helpful! It was clear and organized, and you really filled in the gaps of my knowledge. I feel so much more confident to market myself to more attorneys as a result.” – Nikki Sewell, LCSW “The course is helpful! I’m so incredibly excited about doing this work. Thank you SO much for putting this together. This seems like such a new sub-specialty in mental health, and it is the shared experience and knowledge from pioneers like you that will help the field grow in a much-needed way.” – Claudia P.
