Biography:
Dr. MacTernan has spent her career working to improve the mental health of clients and provide mental health services for members of her community. Over the years, she has served in several capacities, including five years as an Intake Director for Community Health Care of Georgia and as a Community Mental Health Liaison for IQVIA. She has had the privilege of providing mental health care via telehealth platforms since 2013 and maintains licenses in four different states (CA/FL/GA/TX).
Her purpose-driven work focuses on helping all those she works with or teaches to become the best versions of themselves. She finds it a privilege to teach Master's level counseling students to dive deeper into themselves and learn more about who they are, while applying that knowledge to their desired profession of therapy.
