Phoenix Therapist: Chyllia Dixon

Chyllia Dixon is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and educator based in Phoenix, AZ, who leads Hazelwood Mental Health with compassion, expertise, and a holistic spirit. Since moving into the mental health field nearly two decades ago, Chyllia has developed a unique, evidence-based psychiatric treatment approach that incorporates a deep respect for somatic presence and mindful connection. As an author and thought-leader, she speaks passionately about bridging healthcare gaps—advocating for patient-centered, small-practice models that empower both clinician and client alike. A stewardship of legacy guides her work: Hazelwood’s name honors both her late grandmother Hazel Dixon and the practice’s founder, embodying a multi-generational commitment to healing and relational care. Chyllia brings that intention into every session—creating spaces where clients are seen, heard, and supported to sit with their emotions without pressure or performance. Whether teaching in local LEND programs or supporting families through ADHD, grief, or burnout, she continually reminds patients: “Just being is sometimes the most powerful medicine.”
