Ashley Dodson, LCSW
Mental Health Professional
School and Community Liaison
As a dedicated professional with a multifaceted educational background and a fervent commitment to empowering individuals, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Organizational Management from Philander Smith College, I gained a solid foundation in strategic planning, leadership, and organizational behavior.
Building upon this foundation, I pursued my passion for social work by obtaining a Master's of Social Work from the University of Texas in Arlington in 2021. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) currently working towards obtaining my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to address a diverse range of mental health challenges.
My professional journey has been guided by a profound passion for supporting and mentoring young girls. I am deeply committed to helping individuals overcome the barriers posed by everyday issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Through my work, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and cultivate resilience.
With a holistic approach to mental health and well-being, I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve. By combining my expertise in business administration with my clinical skills in social work, I am uniquely positioned to effect meaningful change and facilitate personal growth and empowerment.
