Jennifer French Tomasic, MBA, MSc, is available as an expert witness for legal cases involving coercive control, including matters related to family court, cults, and the troubled teen industry (TTI). Her work focuses on identifying and explaining patterns of behavior designed to exploit, control, create dependency, and dominate another person.
Jennifer's academic background includes an MSc in Psychology of Coercive Control from Salford University in the United Kingdom, an MBA from the University of Phoenix, and a BA from Kenyon College. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law with a specialty in Victimology at Alliant International University in San Diego, California.
Her general specialty is the psychology of coercive control, and her expert witness work centers on behavioral pattern analysis rather than clinical diagnosis. She is not a psychotherapist; instead, she evaluates documented behavior to identify recognized patterns consistent with coercive and controlling dynamics.
Jennifer's casework covers a wide range of issues connected to coercive control, including tactics of psychological manipulation such as gaslighting and love bombing, which often appear as part of a grooming process. Her expertise extends to how coercive control intersects with child custody disputes, undue influence, sexual abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse, domestic violence, financial abuse, physical abuse, human trafficking, the troubled teen industry, and deprivation of liberties.
She is also recognized for her expertise in cults, cultic abuse, and religious or spiritual abuse, approaching these topics from the standpoint of identifying behavioral patterns rather than offering psychological diagnoses of individuals involved. In addition, Jennifer specializes in matters involving sexual consent, date rape, stalking, strangulation, grooming, molestation, reproductive coercion, and questions related to the capacity to consent as they connect to coercive tactics and patterns.
Jennifer is certified to conduct a range of behavioral, non-psychiatric assessments used to support legal proceedings. Her combination of academic training and case experience allows her to provide courts with clear, well-documented analysis in cases where coercive control is difficult to prove through conventional evidence alone.
Attorneys, families, and individuals seeking expert witness services related to coercive control, cultic abuse, or family court matters can contact Jennifer French Tomasic directly to discuss case details and evaluation options.
