Strategy Session with Dr. Neal
A private 90-minute session for your leadership or clinical team on recognizing and responding to psychological abuse.
For organizations
Advancing the recognition of psychological abuse across healthcare.
Hospitals, health systems, and health plans can bring Dr. Avery Neal's assessment tools, training, and psychoeducational programs to the settings where psychological abuse has gone unnamed.
Dr. Neal's work now extends beyond individual clinical practice to address psychological abuse across the broader healthcare system. She is advancing the clinical and medical recognition of psychological abuse, a form of harm that remains largely unassessed and unidentified in healthcare settings. She has developed assessment and identification tools where none previously existed, and is building the practical resources frontline clinicians need to recognize psychological abuse in their patients.
Through partnerships with hospitals, health systems, and health plans, she is bringing her psychoeducational programs directly to patients so that recognizing psychological abuse and supporting recovery become part of care.

Who this is for
Hospitals & health systems
Dr. Neal is building the practical resources frontline clinicians need to recognize psychological abuse in their patients: assessment and identification tools where none previously existed, alongside training and the book itself.
Health plans
Psychoeducational programs delivered directly to patients, so that recognizing psychological abuse and supporting recovery become part of care, at scale across the populations you serve.
Universities & counseling centers
General education for your students on the warning signs and symptoms of psychological abuse, plus training for the counselors, advisors, and residence staff who support them.
Inpatient & outpatient behavioral health
Give clinicians and staff a shared framework for recognizing the psychological and physical signs of abuse alongside the presenting concern, whether in intake, group programs, or individual sessions. The book serves as a between-session companion for clients, and Dr. Neal's assessment and identification tools support facilities where abuse is routinely missed.
Workplaces & community organizations
Psychological abuse follows people everywhere: to work, to worship, to community. Equip the people others turn to first with a grounded, research-based resource.
