Phyllis Leavitt

Phyllis Leavitt is a psychotherapist, speaker, and author whose work bridges personal healing and collective transformation. Drawing from decades of clinical experience with children, families, couples, and individuals, she explores how trauma, abuse, learned helplessness, lack of boundaries, and disconnection shape both our intimate lives and the larger systems we live inside. She is the author of America in Therapy, A Light in the Darkness, and Into the Fire. Through her writing, teaching, and interviews, Phyllis invites us to look beneath symptoms, violence, and division to the deeper wounds of love, belonging, power, and repair.
