9: From Murder to Mission with Clinical Psychologist Andrea Mata
Description
Dr. Andrea Mata, the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, grew up in a gang infested neighborhood on the southside of Chicago. At 11 years old, her life dramatically changed, and it fueled a desire to become a clinical child psychologist and specialize in treating antisocial and aggressive behaviors in children and teens in the hopes that other families would never experience what she went through.
In 2021, she left a tenured position to live out her life’s mission of fortifying families by starting BrightSpot Families where she teaches coping, relationship, and parenting skills. In 2023, she delivered a powerful TEDx Talk, titled From Murder to Mission: How I Found My Life’s Calling, that’s available on YouTube.
