Kiera Mulhern, LMSW

Psychotherapist


Kiera Mulhern is a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with adults, adolescents, and children at Rose Hill Psychological Services. She received her MSW from the Silberman School of Social Work and her BFA in Film and Video from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Before joining Rose Hill, Kiera completed an internship at the New Jersey Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis, where she studied and practiced psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Her work is grounded in the belief that the ways we suffer are also the ways we learned to survive, and that it is through examining the nature of these automatic patterns that we can discover new possibilities. In the clinic, she listens for how suffering reaches across generations and attends to how gender, sexuality, racism, class, and other material conditions may be involved. Kiera’s clinical practice is informed by her background in the arts, where her work in poetry and sound engage with the ways history and language are expressed in the body. Her current research is concerned with ways of thinking maternality beyond normative gender constraints.
