I have no idea how this woman still has her license. Whatever possessed this woman to become a…read moretherapist is beyond me. I owe some of my most traumatizing memories in therapy to her. I saw her both as a child and again as a teenager. I had significant anxiety and was very vulnerable due to experiencing some traumatic events. Instead of a kind, compassionate presence, Valerie was cold, very judgmental, and never provided any genuine help. She would go on these weird tangents about how harsh and strict she was with her children and how she could easily "tell what's wrong" with people just by looking at them. The worst memory I have of her though was when she screamed (yes, screamed) at me for forgetting a folder. I highly suspect some sort of personality disorder, and reflecting back now as an adult, it is very clear that she became a therapist for all the wrong reasons. The absolute worst therapist I have ever seen or heard of by far.

It's difficult to write about my experience in the family court system, and it would be far easier…read moreto put everything behind me. The problem is that allows destructive people to just keep on hurting others. Marcia Clark is one of those destructive people and it's only ethical that I warn others. The short version is that Marcia Clark is unethical, unprofessional, not the brightest and tries to keep the money coming in at the expense of children. She forces damaging conversations on the children, brings her own problems into meetings and required any in-person meetings during shutdown be held without masks. Imagine that - to see my child in person I had to agree to forgo safety for him. She is simply a bad person and should be avoided. Marcia Clark was handed the job of reconnection therapist for my family. She did everything she could to keep my nine year old son and I apart. As often happens in these situations, my wife was using our son as an emotional hostage. Part of the job of the therapist is to get people past that stage. Instead, Marcia ran with it like it was an opportunity. I had been my son's primary caregiver for some time, but Marcia saw no problem in keeping us separated with no explanation or reason given to my son or myself. When we started sessions I had been separated from my son for a month. When I asked when he could start spending nights with me, she said it could be months to visit in-person and a year to reconnect but she couldn't explain what she wanted to see. Marcia Clark just knew it would take quite some time and she was there to help! And get paid, of course. From the start she tried to insert herself in an intrusive and unprofessional manner in my relationship with my son. She would try to drive every conversation to talk about drinking, constantly berating me to do this. It got to the point my son started crying about it when he and I talked alone during video conferencing. We planned that I would quickly bring it up and then drop the subject so he didn't get so upset. I spoke with two professionals about this at the time, and they were both aghast. It has had an incredibly damaging and lasting effect on my son. And I couldn't do anything about it because of Marcia Clark. Marcia Clark was willing to prescribe a year long reconnection process for a one month separation. Marcia Clark persuaded my wife to contest any increase in time between my son and myself, and would turn away entreaties from my son and I for unsupervised time. There was never any reason for supervision excepting Marcia Clark wanting to get paid. Because of Marcia's weirdness about contact between my son and myself, my son started going behind his mom's back to video call me on Discord every evening. We weren't supposed to do so, but we talked every day for an hour or more and still Marcia wouldn't increase the official time available. My son would constantly cry to me about Marcia having to be around. He couldn't even stand to look at her, didn't answer her questions unless forced and she simply never noticed. She brings that same level of awareness to everything she does. Marcia Clark thought she had a good relationship with my son and myself. She's pretty dumb and says outrageously silly things. We got along because I'd agree with whatever she said. After some communication with Marcia, I'm pretty certain she's unaware of this dynamic in her practice; she - undeservedly - holds key parts of a child's life in her hands and people will try to get along with her and she simply doesn't get it.

The counseling/therapy profession is a very challenging career that deals with an array of delicate…read moreand emotionally charged issues. It takes a special person to enter this occupation. Marcia Clark represents everything a therapist should be. In addition to being a competent professional, she is an individual with great integrity, compassion, patience, care, and a pleasant sense of humor. She loves her job and ALWAYS wants to act in the best interest of her patients/ clients. She pours her heart and soul into each case. What saddens me is to read some of the complete untruths that have been posted by certain individuals to taint the character of an exceptionally brilliant and caring professional. Any person would be extremely fortunate to be working with Marcia, yet there are people who post damaging comments that are 100% false. I have had the gift of working with Marcia on many levels, and I cannot say enough good things about this woman. There is NO ONE I would trust more to help me resolve my personal issues nor anyone I would trust more to work with my children than Marcia Clark. She is one dynamic and loving therapist who demonstrates professionalism and empathy to the nth degree. So grateful to have you amongst our community to help families navigate through challenging times in our lives.

I recently contacted Dr. Dufford to help me after receiving a recent diagnoses of PTSD, it's…read moreunfortunately had been many years since I'd seen Dr. Dufford as a patient. Dr. Dufford returned my call promptly and he was very kind and understanding to my situation as usual. Sadly, Dr. Dufford was not able to fit me in as a returning patient at the time that I called, Dr. Dufford instead gave me a referral to two other Psychologists that specialize in treating the Complex PTSD that I suffer from and was recently diagnosed with. Dr. Michelle Chabbot was the Psychologist that I first reached out to following the multiple traumatic events that led to my Complex PTSD diagnoses and that caused my PTSD Panic Attack. I study Psychology myself, and I was very shaken when I contacted Dr. Chabbot, as I'd never experienced at PTSD Panic Attack before, and I never even knew that someone could suffer from something as terrible as a PTSD Panic Attack. Dr. Chabbot answered the phone immediately, and she was kind and caring enough to take the time to help me immediately. She even answered some emergency questions that I had regarding my recent Complex PTSD diagnoses and the PTSD Panic Attack that I suffered. Dr. Chabbot did all of this for me during her time off on the weekend, when she was out of town on vacation. Talking with Dr. Chabbot, meant so very much to me. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Chabbot and I immediately knew that I was in good hands with regards to finding help to treat my Complex PTSD Disability. I'll be continuing my treatment with Dr. Chabbot moving forward, and I'll be sure to update my review along the way as well. I can tell Dr. Chabbot is an extremely gifted and knowledgeable Psychologist, and she is exceptionally knowledgeable and gifted in the area of PTSD especially. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Chabbot/Dr. Dufford, if you are ever in need. I also urge anyone reading this to reach out to Dr. Dufford/Dr. Chabbot if you are in any need of mental healthcare. It's vital to seek the aid of a Psychologist if you've ever experienced going through a traumatic life event (such as a car accident, workplace discrimination, domestic violence, Ableist bullying, really anything that happens that is traumatic in life, can potentially lead to PTSD I'm told. On top of this, in my own personal experience, PTSD appears to me to be a self fueling condition/ mental illness/disability, meaning that PTSD can worsen over time, if left untreated. What this means is that, it's vital to seek the help of a qualified mental healthcare professional immediately following a traumatic life event. If one doesn't immediately get the treatment that one needs, ones PTSD could quickly worsen, that and one could easily develop "layers" of PTSD, from multiple traumatic events as well. In addition to this, PTSD can also VERY QUICKLY develop into a life threatening condition/mental illness/disability, so please don't ever hesitate to get seek immediate help. Even if you just suspect you might need help, then immediately seek out that help as your mental health can quickly worsen, leaving you in a life threatening situation.
