#THERAPY
TOO
EXPOSING THE DARK SIDE OF THERAPY
A DOCUMENTARY
MISSION STATEMENT
#TherapyToo is a project dedicated to exposing the hidden dangers and abuses of power within the world of psychotherapy. By uncovering the contradictions, secrecy, and systemic flaws within the mental health industry, we aim to educate the public about a form of harm that is rarely seen - but deeply devastating.
Through survivor testimony, investigative insight, and public education, we seek to break the silence surrounding this misunderstood form of abuse. Our mission is to give voice to the countless individuals who have been harmed behind closed doors, and to inspire change through awareness, advocacy, and empowerment.
This is about truth, This is about justice. This is about protecting the vulnerable - and reclaiming the narrative.

Her memoir, Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse, was released in October 2021. She has completed numerous radio and podcast interviews on the subject of adult therapist/clergy abuse. Additionally, she has presented at the 2022 Beautifully Broken Conference, the 2022 Restoring Hope: Celebrating Resilience Conference, the 2022 Oklahoma Counseling Association Conference, the 2022 Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Rally, and the 2023 Crimes Committed Against Women Conference.

She hopes that through her ministry, she can shed a light on the very under-reported issue of therapist/clergy abuse both to offer support to the victim and to aid loved ones so they can better assist the survivors in their lives. She also hopes to work towards improving the laws in her state which currently has no legislation regarding therapist abuse. In over half of the states in the U.S., it is illegal for a therapist to engage in sex with a client. The power differential that exists in any therapeutic relationship makes it impossible for a client to give consent. For this reason, the patient entering therapy must be protected.

PRODUCER
is a multi-faceted artist and therapy harm survivor. She hopes that #TherapyToo will be a project that illustrates the many issues surrounding therapy harm and the enormous damage it causes to its victims. Jennifer is driven, not only by her own trauma and pain at the hands of unethical therapists, but by the many other survivors whose stories Jennifer has heard while developing the series. As a result, Jennifer feels a tremendous responsibility to bring the project to fruition to honor the survivors and “shine a light” on this often misunderstood and complex topic. Jennifer also hopes it will remind practicing therapists of the tremendous humanity, honor and responsibility they need to have when given a license. Otherwise, they shouldn’t have one.
