Dr. Jamie
get in touch
Dr. Jamie Huysman is a mental health social entrepreneur, licensed clinician, and television's first media psychologist across talk, court, and reality programming. He is co-author of the bestselling book Take Your Oxygen First and works as a forensic expert witness in high-conflict cases involving caregiving, contested estates, and elder abuse. Over his career he has founded three foundations reducing shame and stigma in the mental health field while helping people become aware in their own lives — awareness he sees as the path to transformation and self-love — and served as America's first Chief Compassion Officer at a major medical group, embedding compassion at scale within a large healthcare organization.
Today he's focused on a single mission: bringing neuroscience-based trauma recovery to what he calls the world's most urgent, most overlooked public health crisis — untreated trauma and attachment disorders — by building the coalition of donors, sponsors, government resources, and partners needed to make that recovery accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it.
