Welcome!
Dr. Ashley Wilson-Dixon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a PhD in transpersonal psychology.
Her journey into this field is deeply personal. As a former foster youth and a woman of mixed heritage, her lived experiences guide her mission to uplift marginalized voices and inspire collective healing. Being part of the less than 1% of foster youth to earn a doctorate has solidified her commitment to advocacy, equity, and decolonizing traditional models of mental health care.
Because of this, she brings a trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and spiritually attuned lens to her work with youth, families, and communities of color. Her approach is holistic, integrating evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and ACT with transpersonal psychology, somatic healing, ecotherapy, and creative expression.
With over 8 years of clinical experience, she continues learning. She is currently completing a second Master's degree in Applied Psychophysiology and pursuing certification in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback to bring the latest in mind-body science to clinical practice. Ultimately, her goal is to help clients reconnect with their inherent worth through mind-body-spirit practices
