James D. Huysman
PsyD, LCSW, CFT, Executive Director of STAR Network
Dr. James D. Huysman (aka Dr. Jamie) is a seasoned therapist, thought leader and social entrepreneur. His 30+ year career has been anchored in advocacy and celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. His experiences in foundation development, media, and government affairs have provided him with unique opportunities to develop tools and programs to help burned-out adults at worksites, couples in crisis, and alienated families caught in Toxic Abusive Relationships (TAR). He does this by providing education, empowerment and energy to individuals, couples, families, organizations and communities at large. By reducing the detrimental damage of TAR, attachment disorders, and parental alienation, individuals can create loving and healthy environments for themselves and their loved ones. Based on his own life experience, Huysman excels at explaining complex issues related to trauma and addiction in clear, understandable terms, providing insights into national and international events driven by psychopathic, sociopathic, narcissistic, homicidal, or suicidal behaviors. “If you don’t break the family trauma, the family trauma will break you”.
