Dr. Marlene Maheu, Ph.D (c)
Clinical Psychologist/Director
Telebehavioral Health Institute
Dr. Marlene Maheu started publicly addressing telehealth in 1994 when she was invited to Chair an Internet subcommittee at the American Psychological Association (APA). Her early work was based on a self-funded, consumer-based behavioral health magazine dedicated to bringing behavioral information to the consumer public on the World Wide Web. Her interest in the legal and ethical aspects of using technology fueled her research, which led to invitations from seven established publishers in 1997 after speaking at a national conference. Those invitations launched her subsequent writing and research focus on professional legal and ethical risk management related to clinical interventions mediated through technology.
As the Founder and Executive Director of the Telebehavioral Health Institute, Dr. Maheu has served on a dozen professional association committees to assist with developing telehealth standards, guidelines, and other consensus documents. She has published 43 book chapters and journal articles as well as 5 professional books related to telehealth practice. Dr. Maheu is a consultant, researcher, author and trainer who has served more than 46,650 professionals from 109+ countries.
On a personal note, Dr. Maheu lives in San Diego with her spouse and rescue pup. She’s an avid gardener and nature lover.
