Phyllis E. Leavitt, MA, is a psychotherapist based-in Taos, NM, with over thirty years of experience. She holds a Master's Degree in Psychology and Counseling from Antioch University. Before transitioning to full-time private practice, where she treated children, families, individuals, and couples, she co-directed The Parents United Program, a family sexual abuse treatment program in Santa Fe, NM. She is now retired from private practice and is focused on writing and speaking. Phyllis is an expert in dysfunctional and abusive family dynamics. She has written two books chronicling her personal healing journey: A Light in the Darkness and Into the Fire . Now, with her third book, America in Therapy , she delves into what perpetuates abuse at every level, the probable outcomes for individuals and the nation if cycles of violence and abuse continues unchecked, and, crucially, how to elevate the principles of individual and family healing to national awareness and implement them for the greater American family.
