There is no question in this day and age that racism continues to rear its ugly head and negatively impact unit cohesion and esprit de corps. As meaningful conversation about racism continues to burgeon, the concept of White Privilege is a topic many leaders are uncomfortable talking about. Dr. Dixon facilitates this dynamic discussion on understanding what White Privilege is and what it is not, as well as understanding historic and systemic racism that has contributed to cultivating White Privilege. Dr. Patricia S. Dixon is an Assistant Professor at the Florida School of Professional Psychology (FSPP) at National Louis University in Tampa, FL. She maintains a private practice in Palmetto, FL. She is experienced conducting psychological evaluations/assessments, forensic assessments as well as facilitating individual, group, couples and family counseling with children, adolescents and adults. Her research interests focus on social and psychological factors that contribute to positive mental health outcomes among minority populations. She has engaged in various research projects and presentations that examine factors such as colorism, racial disparities in the justice system, self-esteem, attachment, academic achievement, single-parent households, parenting practices and more among ethnic minority populations. In addition to her passion for teaching, clinical practice and research, she is passionate about community involvement and engagement. She is a proud member of the SOLVE Maternity Homes Board of Directors, which is a faith based organization that seeks to provide services to women and teens throughout their pregnancy. She is passionate about issues of diversity and her greatest hope is to utilize her position in the field of psychology to be impactful in the area of promoting diversity awareness and competency within the field as well as the community.
