Ansley’s professional focus is on clinical practice, supervision, and social justice advocacy. Her scholarly work centers on diagnostic equity in youth mental health care with a particular interest in equity-centered practice, community-based interventions, and policy reform approaches. Ansley’s Capstone Project focuses on how social identity statuses, including race, gender, and socioeconomic status, impact the misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Informed by Ecological Systems Theory (EST) and Anti-Oppressive Practice (AOP), her scholarship promotes culturally responsive assessment, interdisciplinary competence, collaboration, and structural reform to reduce current systemic bias in mental health care.
