Leadership, Clinical Legacy & Advocacy

Dr. Morgan-Mullane served as Vice President of Mental Health Services at Children of Promise, NYC for 14 years, where she established the first outpatient mental health clinic in the United States specifically designed for children and adolescents impacted by hyper-incarceration. She previously served as President of Policy and Procedures of Mental Health at Fresh Youth Initiatives in New York, where she continues to influence clinical practice at the intersection of policy, community care, and abolition.

Her career has focused on building access to affirming, culturally responsive, anti-racist mental health care for communities impacted by mass incarceration, structural violence, intergenerational trauma, and systemic oppression. She has designed and led clinical programs that integrate Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Complex Trauma Systems Theory, and Mitigation Practices, while centering identity, cultural context, and client agency.

Echo Community PracticeFounder, Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Professor

Dr. Anna Morgan-Mullane, LCSW-R is a trauma-responsive psychotherapist, professor, clinical supervisor, and the visionary founder of Echo Community Practice—a collective of therapists committed to healing through connection, reflection, and justice-centered care. Dr. Morgan-Mullane’s work is grounded in a deep belief that healing must be relational, liberatory, and rooted in community care.

For over two decades, Dr. Morgan-Mullane has specialized in trauma-responsive therapy, relational and narrative therapy, and abolitionist clinical frameworks, offering care to individuals, couples, families, and groups. Her practice is deeply informed by somatic healing practices, critical race theory, intersectional feminism, queer theory, and the dismantling of whiteness within mental health structures. She supports clients and clinicians alike in reclaiming voice, re-authoring stories, and restoring connection in the wake of relational and systemic trauma.

Vision & Founding of Echo Community Practice

Echo Community Practice was born out of Dr. Morgan-Mullane’s commitment to collective healing. Guided by the principle that no one heals in isolation, Echo was envisioned as a trauma-responsive therapy collective that not only centers the lived experience of clients, but also sustains clinicians doing the work of care within a system that often exhausts and extracts.

Through the practice, Dr. Morgan-Mullane has built a community of therapists who challenge traditional models of care and embody an ethics of abolition, mutual aid, and authentic healing. Her leadership reflects her belief that healing must happen in partnership—not through prescriptive models of fixing, but through resonance, witnessing, and the radical act of being with.

Clinical Supervision & Teaching Philosophy

Dr. Morgan-Mullane led one of the most robust clinical training and supervision programs in New York, providing mentorship to MSW and MHC interns, LCSWs, LMHCs, psychiatrists, and licensed creative arts therapists. Her supervision model is non-hierarchical, abolitionist, and reflective, encouraging therapists-in-training to interrogate systems of power and deconstruct internalized oppression within their clinical stance.

Dr. Morgan-Mullane brought this wealth of supervisory and training experience to Los Angeles to expand the efforts of  both individual and group supervision for clinicians city-wide.  With her  focus on cultivating ethical, trauma-responsive, and socially conscious therapists, supervisees receive immersive training in narrative therapy, somatic practices, liberation psychology, and relational cultural theory, alongside deep reflection on identity, positionality, and the ethics of care.

As a professor in both Master’s and Doctoral programs at the New York University Silberman School of Social Work, and Antioch University, Dr. Morgan-Mullane teaches courses she developed on the intersection of clinical practice, social policy, injustice reform, and mental health. Her pedagogy is grounded in anti-racist, trauma-responsive, and abolitionist education, and she trains clinicians to become skilled healers and intentional disruptors—those who can challenge institutional harm while cultivating presence, accountability, and equity in their work.

“Mental health systems have long served as vehicles of racialized, gendered, and ableist violence. My goal is to prepare students and supervisees to be disruptors of harm, practitioners of care, and advocates for systemic transformation. Healing is always political—and always collective.”

Clinical Orientation

Dr. Morgan-Mullane’s integrative clinical framework includes:

• Narrative Therapy

• Relational-Cultural Therapy

• Family Systems Therapy

• Somatic Experiencing & Embodiment Practices

• Psychodynamic Approaches

• Trauma-Responsive & Abolitionist Frameworks

Her therapeutic work is rooted in honoring a client’s story, supporting nervous system safety, and building a collaborative space where healing unfolds not through diagnosis, but through dignity, depth, and presence.

A Commitment to Collective Healing

Through Echo Community Practice, Dr. Morgan-Mullane continues to build a therapeutic and teaching community that reflects her lifelong dedication to decolonizing mental health, honoring the body as a site of knowledge, and cultivating spaces of belonging and transformation for clients and clinicians alike.

Echo Community Practice is not just a practice—it is a living commitment to healing justice, collective care, and the belief that therapy, when done in community and with intention, can be a profoundly radical and liberatory act.
