Kelly Dixon

Dr. Kelly Dixon is a Clinical Psychologist and Advanced Fellow in PTSD and Suicide Prevention at VA San Diego Healthcare System. Her research examines (1) PTSD–SUD comorbidity and (2) culturally specific posttraumatic sequalae, including risk/protective factors and assessment/treatment adaptations. Her work seeks to address access and effectiveness pitfalls in psychosocial care for trauma survivors by developing idiographic and culturally responsive treatment models. In the DREAM Lab, she leads quantitative and qualitative analyses and contributes to meta-analytic work on non-specialist–delivered psychosocial treatments, including first-authored subprojects on culturally adapted trauma assessment measures and treatment components.
