I’m Dr. S. Lavi Wilson—a social worker, licensed therapist, clinical supervisor, and mental health equity scholar with over 15 years in clinical practice and 10 years in higher education. I’m passionate about preparing future social workers, advancing justice-driven research, and using technology and AI to foster inclusive, anti-oppressive spaces. As an educator, consultant, and mom of three, I’m dedicated to empowering individuals, uplifting communities, and transforming systems through innovation, compassion, and purposeful action.
