Run. She is a classic narcissist. I am in shock at the level of self centredness she displays. And if she ever reads these comments she would likely love all of the ‘attention’ she is getting. And she would find a way to justify them. I, too, complained to the Board. She will side with the abuser. She was a witness in our custody trial - and completely blindsided me - stating I was ‘hysterical’. I was not. I was simply terrified that our children would have to be alone with a serial abuser who was charged with strangulation, who had a severe sex addiction (all evidence was presented in court).
The judge went with Smiths recommendation of 50/50. It was beyond devastating and my children are paying the price. I detest this woman. Abuse victims come in traumatized - either she is clueless about this or chooses to harm them further.

It only took a couple of times for me to see how she openly treated her mom who worked as a receptionist for sometime to understand the level of narcissism, entitlement, and lack of empathy, from which she operates. She spoke to her staff, including her Mom in such a condescending manner with straight out disdain, it broke my heart & so I stopped going.

I was wary of using this therapist based on the reviews. Sharon put my children first, ahead of myself or the other parent. Sharon has expectations that are laid out in the service agreement. She thoroughly goes through each piece with all involved and explains the rationale for her expectations/rules.
Although I felt some of it was too rigid.
Yes, she is expensive.
Maybe she could spend some time refreshing her knowledge base on domestic violence and coercive control. (I believe that is case with all involved in family court)
In the end, she was centred on what was best for the children. They were given ways to contact her privately without either parents involvement if they had concerns.
Parents in high conflict custody cases are not their best selves. We are angry and bitter and have lost all control of the most important pieces of our lives. We are forced to rely on outsiders to make decisions and recommendations that we will never be happy with.
Don't be terrified of the reviews. Do your best to be the healthiest parent. It's reflected in your children and every therapist can see that.

Cancel culture. This lady will fire you if you disagree with her and will cancel all of your appointments

Fancies herself an "expert" and pretends to be some sort of authority on matters when, in all honesty, she is not. Perhaps means well in her work but is not very competent. The worst is that she acts as if her opinion is so very precious. She would do well to be more humble and not operate her business as if it were a racket - getting referrals from lawyers to pretend she can adequately assess and provide helpful insight when it's basically a cash grab and a disservice to those involved including her profession.

I agree with all the comments. How do you look at yourself in the mirror, knowing the weight of your evaluations in court! You fail to listen to your clients, never mind being empathetic. You are dealing with precious innocent children! Instead of helping them have a stable life with the healthy parent, you force ideas of co-parenting that are futile when the other parent is narcissistic/psychopathic. I’m so glad I realized early in the process that you would be so damaging to my case and I’m glad the judge ordered another practice note and assessor who was extremely professional, empathetic and insightful and saw through the toxic relationship the children had with the other parent. Please remove yourself from practice, or get some help!

I told my daughter this woman had very bad reviews but she gave her the benefit of the doubt and it turns out all the reviews are accurate. This woman is rude, condescending and offers no support whatsoever. Like others, the situation was made worse and she is a complete and total waste of money. I will be taking steps to ensure the courts are aware of her inability to be bias and her unprofessionalism. This woman most certainly should not be practicing and should not be preparing reports to the court. Her opinion is not worth the paper it is written on. Do yourself a favour and retain the services of someone who knows how to treat people, be fair and respectful. If you are looking for professional assistance with high conflict situations, this woman will be a sad disappointment. I will be filing a complaint about her.

Spent a lot of money for nothing in my case. She didn't do any to move our file forward and kept us in constant conflict. Not worth the time or money. Run from this one.

SO many people affected by the abuse of this woman. I would like this to be public - in the interest of public safety. She was extremely destructive in dealing with my ex and I - co-parenting therapy (court ordered) It was beyond brutal. She is not knowledgable about DV or personality disorders. I hope all of those who commented here make formal complaints to the board.

This therapist was “highly recommended” but my experience echoes the other reviews I see. She talked about herself a lot and was focused on diagnosing my son with ADD ( which all of his teachers laughed at). This woman is horrible, thinks very highly of herself and actually provides very little value or assistance in an excruciating process. She should not be able to practice,
