Emotional and psychological abuse, grooming of a vulnerable adult, abrupt dangerous termination of a vulnerable at risk client : all these are not crimes in England.

I believe the same goes for living in the States. These types of abuse are crimes, but, they are crimes that are not reportable to the police, with any relationship. They are not 'legal' crimes. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be or couldn't be. Perhaps what you have done will help pave the way to make such abuses a legal crime in the future.
Is there no governing ethics board in your country so that you can file a report against this ex-t? What does your advocate recommend you do next, should you chose to continue the good fight?
