Dr. Christie Hartman, PhD, Psychology

I’m a PhD psychologist, writer, and coach. I write articles about dating, relationships, mental health, and maybe a few science-y ones just to keep your neural connections growing. I’m all about helping people understand others (and themselves), with plenty of research to back up my words and not much sensationalized B.S. In a former life, I was a scientist who studied the genetics of mental disorders, addiction in particular. When I’m not crafting articles, I write romance and science fiction novels… under different pen names, of course.
