About Dr. Leonie H. Mattison, Ed.D., Mba.

Dr. Leonie H. Mattison, Ed.D., the visionary President & CEO at Pacifica Graduate Institute, is making history as the first Black woman to lead the 45-year-old Depth Psychological University. Since assuming the role in October 2022, she completed a 100-day Listening, Learning, and Connecting tour engaging with 500 stakeholders. The insights from this immersive experience shaped her passion for prioritizing student success, faculty and staff well-being, and alumni engagement with a transformative vision of "Making Depth Psychological Education and Services Accessible to All." Before Pacifica, she pioneered the Community Action Virtual Onboarding platform, Student and Employee Learning Centers, and Organizational and Talent Development divisions, transforming the County of Santa Barbara Employees' University. This prior expertise seamlessly integrates with her current role, where, under her visionary leadership, strategic initiatives have been orchestrated to tend to the soul of the Pacifica community, emphasizing leadership diversity, strategic communication, and soul-centered collaboration. These efforts include groundbreaking work in compensation and workload studies, shared governance, strategic planning, employee professional development, leveraging technology to enhance student experience, and mental health support.The outcomes of Dr. Mattison's impactful leadership are evident in a commendable 14% surge in new student enrollment, inaugural strategic enrollment plan, WSCUC approval for online programs, 5-year strategic plan, reimagined Pacifica Extension and International Studies division, heightened profitable partnerships, and the Pacifica SOUL Promise© scholarship initiative addressing mental health worker shortages on the Central Coast of California. A paradigm shift in how in-depth psychological education is delivered, experienced, and accessed, particularly within marginalized communities.Her trailblazing journey is reflected not only in accolades such as the Pacifica Coast Business Times Top 50 Women in Business (2023) award, Publisher's Weekly recognition (2020), and Top 40 Under 40 (2018) but in her dedication to addressing societal needs and promoting inclusivity in education, research, and community care.As an educator, international speaker, and author, Dr. Mattison brings a global perspective to her leadership, seamlessly blending scholarship with her six-step T.H.R.E.A.D.© system for personal and professional transformation. She holds a Doctorate in Education from Argosy University and an MBA from Georgian Court University.
