Dr. Mandy O’Hara is a double-board-certified Pediatrician and Child Abuse Pediatrician, Fellow in Integrative Medicine, and Associate Professor of Pediatrics in New York City.  Her medical career began as a primary care physician for foster children, which inspired her desire to devote her career to addressing child maltreatment. Her research and teaching efforts focus on trauma informed care, including self-care, with a focus on physician resiliency and secondary traumatic stress in the face of difficult cases. Dr. O’Hara has published original research, review, and narrative medicine in her specialty. She has given national webinars, round table discussions, and created courses to address vicarious trauma and support compassion and self-compassion in the practice of medicine. Parallel to her pursuits in conventional medicine, Dr. O’Hara has taken a deep dive into complementary and alternative practices, for both herself and to inform her holistic approach to medicine.
