Amy Lewis Bear

Hello,

I'm a psychotherapist with an online therapy practice based in Atlanta, Georgia. The emotional abuse I experienced in my early adult relationships inspired me to leave the corporate world and become a psychotherapist 20 years ago. My passion is helping people who have been in relationships with controlling, manipulative, and emotionally abusive people.

My books empower people to understand the hidden nature of emotional abuse, protect themselves, and work towards healing. My latest book, When Loving You Means Losing Me: How to Escape the Echo Complex and Reclaim Your Sense of Self, will be released on September 1st, 2026, and is now available for pre-order at online bookstores.

I have a Psychology Today blog, From Charm to Harm and a YouTube channel covering different aspects of healing from emotional abuse.

Wishing you all the best -

Amy Lewis Bear
