FELICIA ROSARIO, MD
Expert Behavioral Analysis
in Trauma & Coercive Control
I provide expert consultation to attorneys on the interpretation of behavior shaped by trauma, coercive control, and high-pressure conditions. My work focuses on patterns of presentation that are frequently misinterpreted in criminal, family, and civil cases—and on helping legal teams understand what those behaviors actually reflect.
