Dr. Sharon Hilderbrant is a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked
with individuals, families, and groups who have experienced long-term spiritual
abuse in a religious setting. She applies systems theory and addiction models to
her recovery program. Most of her clients have come out of Bible-based
organizations and many have chosen to retain their Christian faith, desiring to
recover from the abuse and learn how to recognize healthy faith communities.
Once, when asked by a newspaper journalist whether it is possible to practice an
orthodox faith without the excesses and abuses that are frequently committed,
her answer was a confident, "Yes!"
