Dr. Hansen has had a psychotherapy practice since 2001 and teaches and researches in the intersection of psychological agency, emotion, and religion/spirituality.

She recently served as the Editor for Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy (https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/irp/). She has also served on the AMCAP board and as the Vice President of AMCAP.
