Jenny Arevalo, PhD

Jenny Arevalo, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist. She obtained her doctorate in School Psychology at Fordham University. She is a Colombia native and immigrated to the U.S. when she was three. Prior to embarking on her graduate studies, she worked with a parent education program aimed to empower under-resourced, immigrant families with children from birth to 5 years of age with child development knowledge to promote school readiness. This experience launched her into pursuing her graduate studies. Throughout her graduate school experiences, she has worked with a diverse range of children, adolescents, and adults across school, clinical outpatient, and community-based settings with an emphasis on implementing an integrative perspective to treatment with a socio-culturally sensitive approach. Her dissertation research examines how biculturalism relates to executive functioning skills in U.S. Latinx adolescents. Her current focus is to cement her next steps in her professional development and continue to empower marginalized communities through her work with CCMH.
