Dr. Christen Scott
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Dr. Christen Scott, widely known as The Yoga Shrink, is a clinical psychologist turned multidimensional healer who blends modern psychology with the wisdom of yoga, meditation, energy medicine, and Spirit. She earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Hartford in 1999 and spent many years working across inpatient, outpatient, and community mental health settings, as well as running a private psychotherapy and consulting practice in the Washington, D.C. area. Her clinical background includes expertise in ADHD and learning disorders, mood and anxiety conditions, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and couples’ and family dynamics.
Christen’s spiritual and holistic path began in 2003, when she discovered yoga not only as a physical discipline but as a profound pathway to transformation and divine connection. As she witnessed greater breakthroughs through yoga, meditation, and energy healing than through traditional therapy alone, she felt called to shift her career. She eventually closed her psychotherapy practice and later opened a yoga studio in South Florida, where she trained teachers and students nationwide, integrating psychology with yoga philosophy and contemplative practice.
In 2021, Christen experienced a life-altering initiation when her husband passed away suddenly. This devastating loss expanded her into deeper realms of Spirit, energy work, and post-traumatic growth, ultimately clarifying her soul’s purpose: to guide others through transitions of loss, healing, and rebirth with compassion, clarity, and grace.
Today, Christen serves individuals, couples, groups, and even animals, weaving together her psychological training, her depth as a yoga and meditation teacher, and her intuitive gifts as an energy healer. Her work focuses on helping others reconnect to meaning, wholeness, and inner wisdom through the integrated healing of body, mind, heart, and spirit.
