I brought my daughter who has autism in for an assessment for SSI. I thought Mary was through and professional as well as kind and easy to converse with. She listened to me regarding my daughter and even suggested she could have ADHD as well since Autism and ADHD can go hand in hand and she explained it to me in a way that makes sense. I had read reviews before I came in and was a little nervous, but I thought she was really nice and I felt satisfied with how the appointment went and definitely recommend to not let negative or bad reviews deter you from seeing her. :) Thank you. read more

Mary ruined my life as a child. As an adult I've spent over 15 years recovering and she also caused massive problems within my relationships with my parents. She would spend an average 20 minutes with me and 40 minutes with my mother giving her instructions on how to structure our family which only led to complete destruction and resentment. I'm surprised she is even still in business or licensed! read more

I have gone in March 26 of this year for an Autism Assessment for my daughter which Social Security has sent us to Mary. At first she was pretty nice, we went into a room for my daughters assessment & as a 2 year old is curious & wants to look around at things, Mary yelled at my daughter twice to "Stop!" & to sit. That is incredibly rude to yell at ones kid! She then tells me about ABA services, which I already know of but was never able to put my child in those services because of my work schedule. Mary then states that I do NOT have to be there while she receives ABA services, but that is totally wrong. I told her that ABA told me I have to be present at all times & can not leave my child unattended. She then asks me why not take advantage of the services & again states that I do not have to be there, but I just repeated myself & said I'd very much rather be present with my daughter to see what more we can work on & that I will never leave my daughter alone with someone, but she sounds so rude & tried making me feel bad. She would be annoyed then next second she's back to normal. I say Mary needs to work on her approach towards others & be considerate of others. I had only put up with her because I needed her report for my daughter's Social Security Disability. read more

Highly competent therapist and thorough in assessments. Very supportive and kind. Recommend.

This woman has been phenomenal. Not only did she help me overcome issues with my parents, she has been critical in my ability to stay employed, and keeping my relationships together. She even assisted with my learning disability so I could get through COS with aid. She also helped me get my pet certified as a therapy animal. Now my big dog can't disqualify me for apartments. It feels awesome to hold down a job, relationship, and have a house which is a home. I owe her my life. read more

Dr. McDonald has helped me through so much! I wish I knew about her sooner. I've had a lot of trouble with my anxiety recently (especially in school) but she been very helpful in guiding me through it. Highly recommended read more

She showed me how to re-find my strength. I am more better than ever before. I am so Happy to find a woman that respects me, and knows how to tell an asshole to go fuck himself! I am worth so much more. read more

If I could give no stars I would. Watch out! She charges an arm and a leg for sneaky services you never asked for! Was taking my son in and she wrote up some report and is trying to charge me over $200 for it! A report I never asked for, never wanted or needed but she did anyways and wanted to charge me for it! Um no, thanks!!!!! I would steer clear! read more

I have been seeing her for many years now and honestly do not know what I would do without her. On several occasions she has even seen both my husband & I at no extra charge just to help me through some extremely rough times. I am always surprised just how knowledgeable and compassionate she is when it comes to the military though she never has once been herself affiliated with it in anyways. She goes above and beyond to help make sure I am able to receive the top care for all three of my special needs children. If you want a doctor who truly cares then this is the one for you. read more

Coming here was the biggest waste of time. I came here to seek help about a family member relationship and wanted to get advise on how to deal with the relationship issues. She told me that we don't live in china where it's expected to maintain family relationships and that I had approval to stop letting this person in my life. Sorry lady I'm not sure what type of family values you have but that's ridiculous. I don't need your approval I need advise to help the relationship. She also commented that my 18 month old son should have a binky.... um no thanks I don't need parenting advise. If you are seeking help fixing family relationships DONT come here. read more

Would not recommend at all. Complete failure to follow through. Led myself & the school district on for months with an assessment that she was supposed to complete, blamed the district, then bailed out all together. Then, 7 months later, sends me a bill for $200 marked "past due" -the 1st & only statement I ever received - with a note that my "insurance was inactive at the time of visit". Funny, because we have military insurance that has never been inactive since my husband & I got married in 1997! Called to get it fixed & this office is a joke! I'm not sure they know the meaning of the truth! Proved my point to the person on the phone, who finally admitted they were wrong on the billing, but still just kept making excuses that didn't even make sense! Having spent a number of years working in mental health here in the valley, trust me, there are so many better clinicians out there. read more

Disregard prior ratting. She's professional knowledgeable and effective down to earth compassionate and highly recommend her!

I was sent to this lady when I had applied for social security disability for an assessment. She was very rude to me throughout the assessment and I did not feel comfortable. I could tell that she was a children's therapist, not for adults and she rolled her eyes at one point when I answered a question I didn't know the answer and gave my best guess, apparently the guess she thought I was being sarcastic and I wasn't, so she rolled her eyes. I asked what this assessment had to do with my disabilities, as it appeared to be an IQ exam, and she wouldn't answer my question, just said, "Why do you ask?" Unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable. Would not recommend going to her for yourself or your child. Listen to the other reviews. read more
