Dr. Felicia Rosario provides behavioral analysis in trafficking and abuse cases involving coercive control, psychological pressure, fear, dependency, and power imbalance. Attorneys retain her to explain how these dynamics shape disclosure, decision-making, communication, and testimony in legal settings.

She has been retained in criminal, family law, and domestic violence matters in state and federal proceedings.
Dr. Rosario holds an MD from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and completed a psychiatry internship at LAC+USC Medical Center, one of the nation's busiest public psychiatric emergency systems.
