Psychological Evaluation
Najla Sallum, LCSW, Florida license SW19846, at Aurora Counseling and Wellness Center coordinates psychological evaluations for people with clinical or legal referral questions with licensed Florida psychologists who perform formal testing. Clinical interviews are available at 9825 Marina Boulevard, Suite 500, Boca Raton, or by Florida telehealth, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Najla conducts the clinical interviews and integrates findings into a court-ready report, including for immigration-court referrals.
How this is delivered: Florida law reserves psychological testing (Ch. 490 F.S.) for licensed psychologists. When testing is required, Najla coordinates with a licensed psychologist and integrates results into a written report. Clinical interviews and mental-health evaluations that fall under LCSW scope (Ch. 491 F.S.) are conducted directly by Najla.

Frequently asked
Can an LCSW write a psychological evaluation?
LCSWs write clinical mental-health evaluations. When a diagnosis-of-record from formal testing is required, a licensed psychologist administers and interprets the tests. Najla coordinates both.
How is this different from an immigration evaluation?
Immigration evaluations are a specific forensic subtype, while psychological evaluations can also address clinical and other legal referral questions. Formal testing, when required, is performed by a licensed psychologist. See Immigration Psychological Evaluations.
