Victim of a psychologist's malpractice, failed by the system $againstbadtherapy & https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-overcome-debt-from-malpractice-abuse
Then, a few minutes after this happened, this text exchange happened …

Because he was so sick, my dog wasn’t eating at all. Again, he was under the strict care of the vet, but this psychologist was always quick to give all sorts of advice.

If you’ve ever had a dog with diarrhea and vomiting, you know that you’re on high alert for the next sound so you can quickly get them outside. This psychologist was always on my case about how I reacted or responded to things, and I was always wrong for it.
October 23, 2025 at 12:39 AM
When you’ve a dog with diarrhea for days (weeks!), HOW do you not let it impact your mood? When you don’t know what’s going on, doing medications, vet visits, costing you thousands of dollars … HOW DOES THIS NOT IMPACT YOUR MOOD!?
October 23, 2025 at 12:39 AM
Every time I do laundry, twice a week, I hear his voice & see these words-it makes it so hard to just do the laundry

It isn't supposed to be like this, this isn't how a psychologist is supposed to behave with their patients

It's exhausting trying to push against/defy his words
March 30, 2025 at 2:54 AM
I was often required to text w/him 5-6 hrs/day, up to 7 days/wk, amounting to 1300+ PAGES of texts in 10 months

My current psychologist has likened these texts of his, to the "readiness drills" Sarah Edmondson talks about w/DOS (NXIVM)
March 23, 2025 at 12:48 AM
The psychologist this page is about sent texts like this...

They made me feel constantly on-edge, particularly as I never knew how much time I had to respond before he would chase me down, even calling me once at nearly 9pm

He said this was part of my treatment plan
March 23, 2025 at 12:48 AM
This is part of how/why I didn't try looking elsewhere, he seemed to say that no one else could help me in the way that he was helping me. He seemed to be saying I needed this frequent contact that he was requiring, if I wanted to feel & function better.
March 15, 2025 at 11:27 PM
He used this as a way to justify the 5-6 hrs of texting every day in particular, a way to keep me controlled, keep me thinking that he was helping me instead of hurting me.
March 15, 2025 at 11:27 PM
The psychologist that this account is about often put down other therapists. No one specifically, but as a way of saying he was better than everyone else.
March 15, 2025 at 11:27 PM
He would then talk about how he had these issues with money, talking about it gives him panic attacks so he now takes meds for anxiety, his student loan debt, eating rice & beans … eventually I stopped talking about this extreme source of stress I had/have bc he’d go off about how it scares him, etc
March 13, 2025 at 3:12 PM
While I was seeing the psychologist this page is about, I was having more & more financial struggles, in part because he was occupying and controlling my time so I couldn’t hardly work
March 13, 2025 at 3:12 PM
Having this going around in my head makes it really hard to do taxes, it makes me feel like I’m doing everything wrong, I’m incapable. At the same time, I sincerely struggle to buy food or pay rent, I do NOT have the money to pay an accountant
March 9, 2025 at 9:13 PM
He’s angry, he’s doing that “I’m not raising my voice, so it’s not yelling” kind of yelling.

One thing I hate about it all is that it makes me anxious NOW. I just did my business taxes & they’re usually stressful anyway, but I have THIS going on in my head at the same time & it’s paralyzing.
March 9, 2025 at 9:13 PM
I can hear him saying it all, his growing impatience & frustration, him bombarding me almost with quick-fire questions, then ultimately “I’m going to stop asking leading questions …” which is his anger coming through.
March 9, 2025 at 9:13 PM
His assumption first off that I get a refund, him saying “stop doing the work of an [accountant],” him giving tax advice, him giving info about HIS county which has nothing to do w/MY county, “quit asking for permission” … “I’m going to stop asking leading questions.”
March 9, 2025 at 9:13 PM
The psychologist that this page is about, even gave “advice” about things that had nothing to do with what was supposed to be his job

At one point, I had found a relatively small tax error, at the county level.
March 9, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Instead of being proud of me, he seemed to try to bring me down several notches. Because of this, every time I do laundry (including today), I have to push myself to get it done. I struggle even with one load, it’s frustrating and upsetting that his comments still impact me the way they do :(
March 9, 2025 at 12:21 AM
This debt that is killing me feels like a way he’s controlling me, still, and also a painful reminder that I have no recourse at all for what he did to me.
March 2, 2025 at 6:58 PM
I started seeing him with $0 in credit card debt and I was proud of that, now … I don’t know how I’m supposed to manage or live with the crushing debt I have because of him and his controlling ways.
March 2, 2025 at 6:58 PM
It didn’t really cross my mind that he was out to hurt me, or even COULD be out to hurt me. He’s a clinical psychologist, they help people, right? They help people when they’re vulnerable, that’s literally their job.
March 2, 2025 at 6:58 PM
BUT he was telling me I was “doing it right,” I was “making progress.”

Unfortunately, I was very motivated when I started with him, so when he was saying to do things, I did them because I thought it was to help me.
March 2, 2025 at 6:58 PM
I’d prefer to read, crochet, etc but he was adamant I watch TV.


All these “little” things added up to seriously disrupting my life, especially as a business owner. If you own a business and suddenly someone requires 5+hrs of your time, 7 days a week, your business suffers, your entire life suffers
March 2, 2025 at 6:58 PM
The clinical psychologist (that this account is about) controlled my time in at least a few different ways. He required me to text him for hrs every day, 7 days a week & would essentially chase me down if I didn’t text him within a certain amount of time.
March 2, 2025 at 6:58 PM
The psychologist I'm talking about on this account, the one who required 5-6 hrs of texting/day, resulting in 1335 PAGES of texts in 10 months...texted me this video at least twice in this time. I, personally, didn't/don't find it funny, it was disturbing, confusing, & upsetting
