Cult Recovery

Specialized Counseling

I have been providing professional counseling for former members of cultic groups since 1994. However, I do not provide exit counseling – that is, intervention to extract someone from a cult or cultic situation. If you are seeking to extract a loved one from a cult, please do a google search for “Cult Intervention”, where you can see information from most of the people who do that work.

I use psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy and trauma therapies to support former members of abusive groups in their post-cult recovery. Post-cult recovery is for many former cult members a difficult process, involving struggles at many levels to return from a restrictive, authoritarian culture to a life of freedom and autonomy.

While in many cases counseling from a qualified, licensed mental health practitioner can be helpful in post-cult recovery, I offer special familiarity and expertise with these issues, and can provide adjunctive consultation specific to cult issues to those already in psychotherapy. In addition, I also provide supervisory consultation to mental health professionals with cult-involved clients.
