About

My name is Amanda Mullen , and I am Clinical Psychologist. I have focused my career on supporting, teaching, and counseling people living with dementia as well as their families and care partners. I was awarded a Doctor of Psychology degree from Nova Southeastern University in Florida in 2001 and have since returned to live in Massachusetts where I was born and raised. In my private practice, I focus on on helping elders and their families navigate brain change. Through this work, I have had the opportunity to learn and fully embrace the Positive Approach® to Care (PAC) philosophy developed by Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA. In addition to working with people living with dementia and their families in Massachusetts, I have travelled the United States with a team of PAC professionals training those who offer care in settings such as assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. Through a combination of education and skill building, these trainings encourage a focus on the strengths and preserved abilities of those living with dementia. Care partnering is embraced as a fluid and dynamic process that involves curiosity, flexibility, and creativity. I welcome the opportunity to work with you!
