About Dr. Ates

Research‑informed. Rooted in home.

Dr. Ashley Ates is a family wellness practitioner, educator, mother of two sons, and founder of The Parent Network™, an educational hub that equips families with tools for emotional wellness and healthy relationships. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development, a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, and a PhD in Psychology, with over ten years in education and social service. Her work focuses on emotional regulation, reparenting, attachment, and strengthening parent‑child relationships, translating research into practical, evidence‑informed tools for connection and long‑term family well‑being.

She also hosts The Legacy Table Podcast, where she invites listeners to “pull up a chair” at their own tables and discuss the hard things. An ordained prophet and minister, she loves Jesus, traveling, reading, people watching, and seeing transformation in the lives of families.

You live legacy. You don’t leave it.– Dr. Ates

Black, Black, No Contact

Black, Black, No Contact looks at the unhealthy patterns, trauma, and family cycles that can be passed down from one generation to the next. Through Dr. Ashley Ates’ personal experience and evidence‑based research, the book explores how those experiences can shape identity, relationships, faith, parenting, and the way we learn to function within our families.

The book also takes an honest look at family loyalty, boundaries, forgiveness, grief, and what happens when a relationship can no longer continue in the same way.

This is not a book that tells people to go no contact. It is for the person trying to understand what they inherited, how it affected them, and what healing can look like moving forward.

Pre‑order opens October 30.
