A Bulgarian-American scholar, she earned a master's in English language and literature from Sofia University and an Ed.D. in human development from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Her experiences growing up under totalitarianism and living on three continents inform her understanding of historical transformation and its impact on society.

She served as an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of West Georgia, where she contributed to the launch of Latinos United of Carroll County, a Latino-run nonprofit organization.

As a scholar, Mustakova-Possardt has contributed to moral psychology and socially responsible science, with research focusing on the development of critical moral consciousness across the lifespan, the influence of cultural contexts on the human psyche, and the integration of psychology and spirituality. She is the author of "Critical Consciousness: A Study of Morality in Global Historical Context" and served as senior editor of the Springer International Psychology series volume "Toward a Socially Responsible Psychology for a Global Era." Her work has been reviewed by PsycCritiques.
Her book, "Global Unitive Healing: Integral Skills for Personal and Collective Transformation," introduces a practical healing methodology for individuals and societies. The book received the Nautilus Silver Book Award in the category of Rising to the Moment and explores the emergence of interconnected, cooperative, and prosocial approaches to global challenges, integrating Eastern and Western spiritual thought. Mustakova-Possardt has worked with diverse populations in North America, Europe, Africa, and the Arab Peninsula, supporting the development of resilient and mindful relationships.
In her private practice in the Washington, D.C., area, Mustakova-Possardt integrates mindfulness-based approaches with developmental and psychodynamic perspectives to promote whole-person healing and development. She specializes in working with adults and couples on issues such as life purpose, depression, anxiety, addictions, relational problems, and marital dysfunction. Her approach emphasizes the connection between individual well-being and broader societal trends, with a focus on spiritual activism, integration, and conscious planetary citizenship.
