Erionia L. Dixon, MS, LPC is a Wisconsin based therapist and educator dedicated to helping people heal while they achieve, grow, and navigate complex worlds. Her work centers whole-person wellness, cultural identity, and the belief that healing is not the opposite of achievement but the foundation that makes it sustainable.

In her role as a School-Centered Mental Health Therapist & Supervisor with Lutheran Social Services, Erionia partners with schools to create supportive environments where students and families can thrive. She integrates trauma-informed care, family engagement, and strengths-based practices to reduce barriers and cultivate wellness in learning spaces.

Inspired by her doctoral research on Black women’s wellness, Erionia advocates for accessible mental health support, collective healing, and spaces where people can honor both their lived realities and their aspirations. She frequently speaks on self-care, microaggressions, mental health conditions, relational wellness, and the power of community.
