Ashley Mayworm, PhD, is an assistant professor in the School Psychology program at Loyola University Chicago. Dr. Mayworm earned her PhD in Counseling, Clinical and School Psychology from the University of California-Santa Barbara. She then completed an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship in the School Mental Health track of the VAMHCS/University of Maryland-Baltimore Psychology Consortium and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for School Mental Health within the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Dr. Mayworm’s scholarly work focuses on understanding how schools can better engage students that are at-risk for emotional, mental, and behavioral health difficulties. She is particularly interested in understanding how school factors can inhibit or promote the success and well-being of students at-risk for delinquency and involvement with the juvenile justice system. She has conducted both quantitative and qualitative research in three primary areas: (a) identifying school-related risk and protective factors for youth delinquency and gang involvement; (b) understanding how school discipline and climate are related to student outcomes and disproportionality; and (c) designing, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based mental health prevention and intervention programs in schools.
Dr. Mayworm strives to incorporate principals of social justice into her research and teaching. She hopes students who take her courses and/or collaborate with her on research feel empowered to be agents of positive social change in the schools and communities where they work and live.
