Christen N Mullane

Dr. Christen Mullane is a clinical psychologist who practices virtually in multiple states. She has particular expertise in working with clients who are grieving loss of functioning due to medical problems, who are adjusting to new onset medical illnesses, or who are caring for individuals struggling with aging and illness. Over the course of her clinical career, she has worked in multiple medical settings including emergency rooms, medical hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient primary care clinics. Given the fact that she has "been there," medical professionals and front line workers in need of support may consider establishing care with Dr. Mullane.

Dr. Mullane is passionate about increasing access to health services and information. As part of that mission she writes for the Mindful Observer, a mindful journalism project. She has chosen to work virtually in order to bring her practice to her clients. She recognizes that during periods of upheaval and stress, it can be hard to get out of bed, let alone get to therapy. Virtually, she is able to offer the opportunity for continuity of care even when individuals are traveling or moving. She understands that virtual care provides access to needed mental health services in under-served areas, and allows individuals with mobility and health issues another way to gain support.

Dr. Mullane utilizes evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as mindfulness and awareness building strategies, in her work. She aids clients in reflecting on their values, thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns in the interest of acceptance and change. She regularly reviews available clinical research to inform her practice. She values diverse viewpoints and experiences, actively works to increase her own cultural competence, and welcomes any and all to her practice.
