About Kerry

You’re Not the Problem—But You Can Be the Solution.

I’m Dr. Kerry McAvoy—a retired psychologist and narcissistic abuse survivor. I know what it’s like to doubt your own reality, to walk on eggshells in your own home, and to feel like no one on the outside understands what’s really happening.

After my own harrowing journey through lies, betrayal, and rebuilding, I created the ReclaimYou Path to give survivors a clear, trauma-aware way forward. Instead of scattered advice and one-off sessions, everything I offer now lives inside a simple framework:

  • Quiz for clarity

  • Books & course for a roadmap

  • App for daily support

  • Club for live community

My memoir, Love You More, chronicles the shocking reality of my marriage to a sex addict and pathological liar. It’s raw, honest, and shows how even a trained psychologist can get trapped—and how you can get free.
