Chris Molnar, PhD, a licensed psychologist at Mindful Exposure Therapy for Anxiety and Psychological Wellness Center (META Center), leads one of the handful of professional MBCT Teacher Training Organizations offering professional continuing education internationally. She completed post-doctoral fellowship training in traumatic stress, neuroscience, and psycho-physiology and is an expert in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, OCD, PTSD, emotional, and stress-related conditions using evidence-based practices.

She teaches both the traditional Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Stress Reduction (MBSR), along with a brief adapted program that prepares highly distressed people to benefit from these traditional approaches. At META Center, she integrates findings about neuroscience, emotion, and automatic learning processes to transform maladaptive habits into adaptive responses, even in the face of severe stress.

Before founding META Center, she served as a clinical investigator supported by grants from the National Institute of Health and other agencies. Dr. Molnar serves the public in many ways, through professional presentations, workshops, publications, and service to continuing education initiatives for professional groups to increase access to high-quality psychotherapy in individual and group settings.
