Dr. Ellen Lacter, PHD

I initially took my son to her for help with conjoint therapy. I agreed to an assessment while in a relationship as we had different parenting styles and my son was special needs. When partners each make their complaints about the other's dealings with the child it is actually hearsay. I allowed the report without viewing it first and made me sound like a criminal as she wrote everything in there my partner said which was horrible and which they used to further alienate me from my son. I trusted her, she stopped seeing me and since my partner had a lawyer the report was very negative to me and then she dropped me without warning and did not give me any other names of therapists to go to. There was no closure, no feedback and though my son wrote to her and was also upset she blamed the writing on me but the postal officer could see it was a child's handwriting. My partner and this Lacter broke my heart and did so much damage that can never be repaired.

Dr. Lacter is a world class specialist in childhood trauma. She has been enormously helpful to me.
