About the Founder

Ashley Dennard (she/her) is an emerging community psychologist (Ph.D (c)) and the founder of Undone. by A. Dennard. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, Ashley brings a people-first, justice-centered approach to consulting and evaluation. Her work is grounded in cultural awareness, deep listening, and a clear commitment to disrupting norms and practices that often cause harm without intention.

Rooted in the Chicagoland area, Ashley carries a deep love for her community and the people who continue to shape it. Her lived experience, academic training, and background in community care fuel her passion for building practices that center healing, equity, and reflection over urgency and performance.

Ashley started Undone. to bridge her community work with systems-level transformation. Through this practice, she supports organizations in slowing down, doing the internal work, and creating change that truly aligns with the communities they serve. Her leadership is rooted in care, cultural clarity, and the belief that real transformation begins when we are willing to undo what no longer serves us.
