Success Stories
"Kerry came into my life when I felt helpless, hopeless & eternally alone. She made me feel understood & validated instead of crazy. After working through her cognitive dissonance course, I regained my sense of self and have found a new purpose. Her expertise & vulnerability has helped me turn my life around. I’m thankful for her bright light."
Brittany M.
"Kerry’s delivery of abuse, narcissism, and toxic relationship information is approachable. She compellingly captures the emotional experience of a toxic relationship by weaving in personal stories with educational content so that others feel understood and supported."
Lisa Sonni
"I get better help and understanding from this club than any therapist has ever given me. Plus, I can get help and education when it fits into my generally very busy schedule instead of fixed therapist appointments. I just signed up for the Academy for 1 year. Easiest decision I've made in a long time."
P., Club member
"Being a victim of narcissistic abuse has been my life’s worst and most isolating experience. Finding Dr. Kerry and this community group was the rope I was desperately reaching for – they have truly rescued me."
E., Club member
