Maria Jimenez-Salazar (she/her/ella) is a child and adolescent psychologist and Postdoctoral Psychology Fellow in the Multicultural Clinical Training Program at the University of California, San Francisco, where she is training in the implementation of evidence-based practices with immigrant youth and families. Maria earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Fordham University, where she pursued major areas of study in child and adolescent psychology and forensic psychology. Maria focused her dissertation on identifying risk and protective factors of mental health in the migration process of unaccompanied immigrant children from Central America.
