Ana R. Dolores, M.A., M.S.
Fuller Theological Seminary
Ana R. Dolores is a psychology intern at Hidalgo Medical Services. As a bilingual (Spanish English), bicultural clinician originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, Ana brings a culturally responsive lens to her work. She has provided clinical services in both languages across various settings, including community mental health clinics, and integrated health centers.
Ana offers individual therapy using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family systems interventions. She is passionate about working with second-generation Mexican American young adults as they navigate cultural identity, family expectations, and life transitions. Ana believes in meeting clients where they are with compassion, curiosity, and collaboration to support their growth at their own pace. As part of her training, Ana has also conducted psychological evaluations to support diagnostic clarity and personal insight.
Her research focuses on the psychological and spiritual development of Mexican American emerging adults, with particular interest in the integration of faith and psychology, generational trauma, and multicultural identity. She explores how family systems interventions can help bridge the gap between clients’ personal values and their family values, promoting greater connection and understanding across generations.
Ana is currently a fourth-year doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, where she also earned her Master of Arts in Psychology. She previously completed a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling at California State University, Fresno. Her background includes working with Spanish-speaking families, youth, and adults in underserved communities, with a deep commitment to providing culturally and spiritually informed care.
