Analee Aponte, Ph.D.

Hello, I’m Dr. Analee Aponte, a bilingual Provisional Psychologist (English and Spanish) with Sugar Land Psychological Associates. I specialize in treating children and adolescents, with an additional focus on treating adults. My primary focus is providing psychotherapy and comprehensive psychological assessments. My areas of expertise include treating insomnia, trauma, depression, substance use, obsession and compulsions, and anxiety. I offer a range of therapeutic services such as individual, group, and couples therapy, and conduct psychological assessments that address diagnostic clarification, ADHD, bariatric surgery readiness, and evaluations for security, law enforcement, and immigration needs.

My path toward psychology began with providing social work services to underserved communities in Puerto Rico. During my doctoral training, I gained experience in various settings, including university student services, community health clinics, and pediatric facilities, along with teaching courses on psychological assessment, developmental psychology, and clinical supervision. Additionally, I served as an educator for a sexual abuse prevention program. My research interests focused on mental health stigma, violence, and suicide within the Puerto Rican community, and I’ve presented findings on these topics at multiple academic conferences.

On a personal note, I enjoy cooking, reading, watching documentaries and series, and playing pickleball. My husband, also a psychologist, and I share a wonderful pet named Mylo. We’re both avid travelers, finding inspiration and a deeper appreciation for different cultures along the way.
