What families say

★ 3.7based on 6 Google reviews

Reviews for this provider are predominantly negative, with two separate reviewers raising concerns about the psychologist's ability to handle complex or sensitive cases — one describing a lack of practical strategies for a client with serious needs, and another reporting that their relative was not believed rather than listened to. The single positive review praises Dr. Marilyn Barton's expertise but provides no specific detail. Parents should be aware that the critical reviews reflect concerns about case management and therapeutic approach, particularly for clients with significant or sensitive presentations.
