In her forthcoming book, "Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma and Politicizing Your Practice," Jennifer Mullan holds her profession to account.
A longtime psychologist and counselor at New Jersey City University, the 45-year-old Garden State native had grown frustrated with being able to provide care only on a small scale. Her work was burning her out, and she was overwhelmed by the fact that, for every person she could help, countless more were struggling.
Instead of trying to reform people’s access to therapy, Mullan set out to reform therapy as a whole.
