Let Me Introduce Myself

My name is Dr. Peter Salerno, and I am a licensed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, clinical consultant, trauma-informed educator, and author of seven books. I specialize in treating trauma that is caused by chronic manipulation at the hands of pathological personalities, specifically Cluster B personalities.

It is my honor to support victims and survivors of this unique and sadly commonly unrecognized and misinterpreted form of abuse while they are on their journey toward understanding, survival, recovery, and healing. My ardent desire is to help victims and survivors of pathological relationship abuse reclaim their personal power and get their lives back.

One of the main reasons I am so passionate about helping and supporting people in this particular way is because I have survived it myself. There is hope. There is recovery. There is life after this form of abuse. And you can do it. You can get your life back, just like I did.

I use a number of evidence-based methods and interventions to help people heal from their trauma. I also consult with you and provide education on how to spot manipulation in relationships and how to avoid dramatic and abusive people in the future.  If this is what you are looking for, please set up a consultation to discuss further.
