Ashley Gonzalez, LMSW, is a clinical social worker in the School and Community Programs at the Child Mind Institute. She has experience providing evidence-based care to children, adolescents, and families in both school-based and outpatient settings.

During her graduate training, Gonzalez worked with the social work team at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. There, she served as a clinical specialist, connecting patients and families to essential resources.
