Clinical psychologist Dr. Andrea Mata, statistically, should not be as successful as she is. The daughter of a Mexican immigrant, she grew up in a gang-infested nine-block unincorporated neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. As a result, Dr. Andrea Mata draws on her tough upbringing to empower families, businesses, and today’s youth. With degrees from Valparaiso University and Kent State University, she founded BrightSpot Families and collaborates with the Anxiety Treatment Center of Greater Toledo. Her ultimate mission is to empower businesses and parents to throat-punch the mental health crisis! Married and a mother of three, Andrea promotes a balanced approach to personal and professional life, emphasizing psychological health and meaningful connections.

She is a graduate of City University of New York School of Law and Fordham University. Kaitlin spent her career having difficult conversations with children who were victims of horrific crimes, along with children who were arrested for juvenile delinquency or criminal acts.
