Public-source listingNot provider-approvedReviewed September 12, 2026

What this service offers

Empathy Paradigm, founded by Anna Clark Miller, publishes information about religious trauma and high-control environments. Its website includes a therapist directory, recommended reading and media, reflective inventories, and professional training. Miller describes a religiously neutral approach that respects personal belief choices. The directory and self-reflection tools can support exploration, but their presence does not independently establish a diagnosis, a provider's competence, or suitability for care.

  • Religious-trauma therapist directory
  • Educational articles and resources
  • Reflective inventories
