Learn about my coaching services for spouses and families of white collar criminals
When white-collar crime enters a family, the emotional fallout extends far beyond the person facing criminal charges. But are therapists prepared to support the spouses, children, and loved ones caught in the crisis?
In this episode, I'm drawing on my experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist and my personal story as the daughter of someone convicted of a white-collar crime to explore what mental health professionals need to know about working with these families.
I'll discuss the impact of betrayal, grief, shame, and stigma, along with practical clinical considerations for assessment, trauma-informed care, supporting children, and navigating ethical boundaries. I'll also share examples of what therapists should avoid saying and how to support clients without imposing personal judgments about forgiveness, reconciliation, or divorce.
My goal is to help therapists recognize the people behind the headlines and provide thoughtful, compassionate care to families navigating a white-collar legal crisis.
