Dr. McFarr was the right choice for me. I researched her before selecting her and glad that I did.

Therapy with Dr. McFarr (through her private practice) resulted in a significant deterioration in my functioning. I am now seeing a new therapist twice a week to process what happened in treatment with her. It seems from the reviews that clients either think she is life-saving or detrimental. Unfortunately for me, it was the latter.

She is a world renowned expert in helping people with really difficult interpersonal problems, myself included. I didn’t always like what she said but ultimately she was right. I thank her for her no holds barred honesty. I was able to make the changes I needed to save my life. She’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea because she really says the hard stuff, but if you are really to change, she helps. She will help get you there. But as she always says, DBT is a recipe, not a meal.

This is my experience and opinion of Dr mcfarr. From my understanding she holds a supervisor position at harbor UCLA psychiatric dept. The department is run horribly and it feels like a throwback in time where people who needed help coping with life were given stigmatizing labels and drugs and thought to be less than. Dr mcfarr acts like she has all the answers and once she decides on her stigmatizing label for you she is determined to make it official and get it into your records. Despite contrary MEDICAL RECORDS, DIAGNOSTICS,TESTING and other medical documentation which she did not want to view. Despite other MEDICAL doctors providing a correct diagnosis. She really was just over the top in my opinion. I am so glad my experience with her was so brief that she was unable to do me any harm. I hope she changes to a field of work she is more suited to. Her personality is completely unsuited to helping people to learn to cope with their emotions and/or behavior. It seemed like she didn't even have a handle on her own. If you saw her on the other side of the window in the reception area she would more belong there so she could get help. But she couldn't get help at harbor UCLA because it's terribly run by people like herself. I would avoid this doctor. If I knew then I would have skipped over the experience entirely. Waste of time. Dr mcfarr is a waste of time in my opinion and possibly worse.

Dr. McFarr has helped me attain my goals and get me out of a really difficult situation. Working with her has helped me develop my own skills to manage other difficult problems independently.
