MARY NEAL VIETEN, PhD, ABPP, CDR, USN(RC), Founder and Executive Director
Dr Vieten has spent the majority of her professional career learning about, teaching and implementing effective responses to warfighters’ operational trauma. Her expertise is recognized internationally.
She is a board certified clinical psychologist and served on active duty from 1998 – 2008 in the US Navy and in the Reserves since then, serving over 21 years, and counting.
In 2014, she was assigned to the staff of the Navy Chief of Chaplains where she trained over 1000 military chaplains worldwide in pastoral response to trauma in general and military sexual trauma specifically. She has completed two deployments in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
Her civilian practice serves clients who are military, police, EMS, veterans, and civilians who work or have worked in high-risk operational environments. She has been successful in keeping her clients in their occupations, or returning them to a fit-for-duty status, while empowering them to manage residual symptoms and assist their peers.
Her work is frequently directed to those who have failed in previous treatment, those requesting care without medication, those for whom the medical model has not mitigated symptoms, those who are not well enough to navigate the complexity of VA services, and those without means to pay.
She conducted the first Warfighter Advance evolution in 2003.
