Personal Biography

I am a bilingual and bicultural licensed clinical psychologist in Minnesota currently seeing children, adolescents, young adults, and families in my private practice (see website: www.drsandraahumada.com). As a native Spanish-speaker, I am able to offer services in both English and Spanish. I am committed to delivering evidenced-based treatment, to help achieve meaningful change as efficiently as possible. In addition to broader training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I have specialty training in Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP or EX/RP) and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), which have been found to be some of the most effective interventions for anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I am a certified Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) provider and can help parents of young children with significant behavioral problems. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for treating children and adolescents who are experiencing PTSD symptoms.
