I have nothing but the highest respect for Dr. Snyder as an excellent psychologist. I've found her…read moreapproach to be both compassionate and very well attuned. She's highly trained and very experienced. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend my closest friends and family to her. In short: she's the best of the best, and if you can get in to see her you are in good hands. P.S., I see that there are some critical reviews on here, and my guess is that it might reflect that Dr. Snyder works with some very complicated people.... If you are thinking of working with Dr. Snyder, don't be dissuaded, as she's an excellent and highly experienced psychologist.

After 4 months of sincere reflection, I have decided to make this review to warn others because I…read moredon't want any other innocent person, seeking support + healing in therapy, to instead end up harmed by Dr. Snyder in a similar way to what I experienced working with her. I worked with Rose for over 3 years + did meaningful healing work. She had taken her annual month off during the summer. At our second session after her long break, I was catching her up on several life updates. She decided one of the situations I shared was cause to report me to CPS. She asked me not a single clarifying question about this incident, but instead used time in that same session to talk about her family chaos + a deeply traumatic situation with her friend. The disclosure she made of her friend was about them being stabbed with scissors by their child and nearly dying. She told me nothing about what was done, support sought, or if the friend was even ok. I felt deeply sorry for her friend, but she shared this inappropriate (and frightening for me) story knowing I had a very significant trauma history that was closely aligned to this story. Even more problematic, Rose shared this while failing to ask me any questions about what I shared, that she wildly misunderstood. She then proceeded to institutionalize harm against my family with misinformation. A deeply unethical course of action according to every other mandated reporter + therapist I have now run this by. So in the therapy session after her extended work break she shares this traumatizing story with me that deeply frightens me + reopens some scary parallel trauma while in the background, she quickly moves forward + files an unwarranted CYA report to CPS against me within 24 hours of that session. She claims she submitted an extra addendum to CPS about what a good parent I was + all the efforts I was making to care + support my child. But who reports suspicion of harm while also knowing a child was not in any kind of danger? Had she asked me a single follow up question it would have absolutely clarified what she grossly misunderstood. In the past 4 months I have gone on a quest to find another mandated reporter who would have proceeded similarly, + I have yet to find one. Most folks I have talked to about this fallout were shocked + concerned about her deeply unethical choice of action + what she chose to disclose in that session. Most noted that she should have, + could have, clarified on that call to make certain her report was being made in good conscious + with clear understanding. Or she could have asked for a follow up session with me. She did none of those things. Therapists were in disbelief that she proceeded in the way that she did causing such unnecessary + irrevocable harm. This experience for me was one of betrayal, relational trauma + violation the likes of which I have never experienced by a trusted other. By lodging that report, I had to tell my child the very next day that someone might show up at school to interview them without me present (this is the standard CPS practice for school age children). Rose knew my child's profile well + how traumatic such an interview would be for her. She also knew my child was deeply loved, cared for, + supported in my home. + yet she chose to proceed anyway + risk traumatizing us (which she successfully did). The outcome of said meeting could have resulted in my child being taken from school, without me knowing where she was, + temporarily placed in foster care for 48 hours with a family she did not know, if CPS had any questions about her well-being or if they saw any bruise or anything that made them suspicious about her safety. The risk for serious + lifelong harm was set in motion by Rose's unbelievably misguided choice. This is standard CPS process + an ethical therapist should know the process, risks, + level of endangerment that is related to their actions. Rose ENDANGERED my family. My child has been having ongoing nightmares about the interview + being taken from our family. This is a direct result of Rose's unethical actions. CPS dropped the case after 2 weeks without even interviewing us. The whole purpose of that agency is to protect kids in danger + in reading the report they could clearly see that my child is not in any kind of danger. Rose knew that well which makes her choice all the more baffling. The report should never have been made. I was left traumatized, in shock, confused, hurting, with a kid panicking. Rose wouldn't respond to my emails, concerns or questions, + then within days sent me a boiler plate termination of service completely abandoning her care. It is antithetical to the core purpose of relational therapy. It is a deep harm I will probably be working to heal for the rest of my life. Protect your well-being, steer clear of Rose, + find another practitioner.

As part of an ongoing custody dispute between my wife and her ex, he continually threw anything and…read moreeverything he possibly could at us, to see what would stick, as well as try to exhaust us mentally, emotionally and financially. One of these tactics was to request a wholly unnecessary psychological evaluation of the child in question, despite there being no motivation or evidence that there was a need for such a thing. But that's the thing about narcissists: it's not about anyone else but themselves, even for their own children. A talented psychologist should be able to spot such manipulative and self-serving behavior on their own, but *especially* when evidence is provided to them of previous incidents, some of them quite damning, and all of them documented. Lies, slander, subterfuge, all of it on paper, and presented during preliminary interviews. Unfortunately, context and evidence apparently doesn't seem to matter here, and Dr. Jeff Lee has all of the personality and deductive reasoning of a flowchart. After a series of interviews with both parents, our son (my step son), and myself, and several thousand unnecessarily spent dollars later, the final determination in the report is that both households are healthy, safe and loving, finding neither of them in favor of the other. Sounds great, right? At the very least, not terrible. Here's the rub: despite our son being wholly in the custody of his mother for the five years since his birth; despite the fact that she has 90% of visitation time; despite the fact that he has two half-brothers that he has lived with his entire life; and despite the fact that *I* have spent more time as a father figure to him than his birth father, this "neutral" determination came with a recommendation for 50/50 custody, because... ...get this... ...his father's school district is rated slightly higher than ours. So Dr. Lee recommends that our son's entire life be uprooted, gutted and turned on its head, despite him being healthy, happy and functioning, within a complete family unit? In what way is this good for the health and well-being of a developing child? Not only was all the evidence of his birth father's conniving and manipulation ignored wholesale, he failed in every possible way, to do the very minimum, and using his intellect, training and reasoning to comprehend that maybe, *just maybe*, if nothing is broke in the child's life, stop trying to fix it. Show your work. Prove that something needs to be changed *for the child*, not the manipulative narcissist who just wants to get his way. Instead, Dr. Lee simply checked the boxes, followed the outline, and produced the most feeble, milquetoast, ineffectual report imaginable. And this is not an isolated incident; our attorney has discovered that, on at least one other occasion, Dr. Lee's reports have been challenged and thrown out of court; an expensive endeavor, but something we may consider going forward with in the future. If you want someone to root out the truth, and provide honest evaluation with a learned and critical eye that prioritizes the well-being of children involved in custody disputes, look elsewhere.

Incompetent and unprofessional. I did a lot of research for custody evaluations prior to choosing…read moreDr. Poppleton. He came recommended by a recently retired custody evaluator (who has since learned never to recommend him). The first appointment I waited for 10 minutes before seeing anyone in the office and a full 20 minutes before meeting Dr. Poppleton. I work full time and had to take time off to make all of his appointments, which he was late to every single time. He talked about his prior cases the entire time we first met and it was difficult to get a word in. Dr. Poppleton's intern was great to work with and did the majority of the evaluation, but I don't think Dr. Poppleton read any of her notes or recommendations. He made up his own mind based purely on chatting with me and the father for less than an hour each. He charged more money, despite using an intern, and cost me unnecessary attorney fees by not responding in a timely manner numerous times. He made numerous mistakes in his write-up and was not following current psychology practices when administering evaluations. His writing skills are lacking and his focus tended toward my sexual behavior while ignoring my husband's repeated rape and punishment. To be clear, I received a favorable evaluation: getting full custody and recommendations for the father to get anger management help, but Dr. Poppleton failed to grasp the severity of the situation and has put my daughter in jeopardy with giving the father too much time alone with her.
