Margaret Bullerjahn, PhD

Bio

Margaret "Peggy" Bullerjahn, PhD, is a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with youth with co-occurring mental health concerns and medical conditions. In her current role, she provides psychiatric crisis stabilization for youth with medical needs. She uses evidence-based interventions with the goal of fostering feelings of safety, independence, and self-efficacy in her patients and their families. 

Originally from Ohio, Dr. Bullerjahn received her doctorate from The University of Southern Mississippi. During her training, her clinical experiences involved providing evidence-based psychological care to both children and adults in a variety of settings including community mental health, inpatient psychiatric, forensic, and child advocacy populations. She moved back to the Midwest to complete her predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship in St. Louis where she received intensive training in pediatric health psychology. Dr. Bullerjahn says the breadth of her clinical experiences has shaped her understanding of the complexity of mental health presentations, which allows her to take a comprehensive and collaborative approach to treatment.

As a new resident to the Hampton Roads area, Dr. Bullerjahn is excited to be close to the ocean and away from the snow. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, going to the beach, listening to live music, and hanging out with her cat.
