Carol A. Lambert MSW, LICSW
From over 30 years of clinical experience, I bring a compassionate and interactive approach to my psychotherapy practice with women and men addressing the challenges that interfere with living the life they’d like to live. As co-founder and facilitator of recovery groups for women with controlling partners, I’m committed to raising awareness about psychological abuse in intimate relationships—the subtle coercive behaviors that are hard to identify yet deeply harmful. Fulfilling a desire to help women everywhere, my evidence-based recovery process is now available in a self-help book, 'Women with Controlling Partners: Taking Back Your Life from a Manipulative or Abusive Partner.'
