Dr. McFadgion is a Research Psychologist, Clinical Social Worker, and Professor with over 30 years of experience in the field. Her career has been dedicated to advancing research and clinical practice at the intersection of early childhood education, HIV, substance abuse, domestic violence, and traumatic brain injury among survivors of intimate partner violence.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Austin Peay State University, a Master of Science in Research Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and a Master of Social Work and PhD in Social Work from Howard University, where she focused her doctoral research on intimate partner violence and traumatic brain injuries.
Dr. McFadgion provides psychotherapy from an eclectic and intersectional, culturally-centered approach that draws from Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Family Systems theories. She empowers clients with tools to manage emotions, enhance communication, and build resilient, healthy relationships—whether in individual, couples, or family therapy.
