Anita Dix-McLaughlin, D. Div. was born in Texas, grew up in Los Angeles, CA, and lived for an extended period on the East coast. She states, “Having the opportunity to live in different parts of the country (Pacific, Central, and Eastern areas of the US) has given me an intimate understanding of regional culture and customs found in mega-urban cities and remote rural areas. My travels (both nationally and internationally) have added to a wealth of content and varying perspectives.” Now living in Northern California, Dr. McLaughlin, has continued to affect positive change in those she meets through seminars, conferences, her Podcast, regular radio broadcasts, blogs, magazines, books, and personal mentorship.
 
Dr. Anita a licensed and ordained Christian minister and professional Chaplain has studied under some of the most respected men and women in ministry today, among those, the late Dr. Frederick K.C. Price (Los Angeles, CA) whose ministry she credits with teaching her many of the foundation building truths that have been a hallmark of her current ministry.  While in Texas, Dr. Anita was also a part of the Transformation Treatment Center ministry team, of The Potter's House, Sr. Pastor, Bishop T D Jakes. She now serves in Chaplaincy.
 
Utilizing her beliefs, experiences, and proven interaction with hurting people combined with exposure from her studies in Clinical Pastoral Education, Dr. Anita began to develop concepts to challenge the role our beliefs and thoughts play in our accomplishments or lack thereof. “It doesn’t matter whether things are going good or bad they can get better."
