Amy Lewis Bear

”In my psychotherapy practice,” says Amy Bear Lewis, ”many of my clients have come to me complaining of anxiety and depression. After questioning them, I discovered that, just like me in my early adulthood relationships, my clients didn’t realize they were in emotionally abusive relationships. Other clients realized that their partners were abusive because the behavior was more obvious, such as verbal abuse or physical battering. I now devote my professional life to helping people heal from emotional abuse, whether it is with an intimate partner, parent, sibling, friend, work colleague, or any type of relationship. I welcome all people regardless of their culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, gender, or age (18 years of age or older). When I’m not seeing clients, I work to raise public awareness about emotional abuse by writing, speaking to community groups, and making media appearances. It gives me great satisfaction and fulfillment to help my clients gain the knowledge and power they need to improve their lives and relationships.”
