Mental Health Professionals - Wappingers Falls, NY

"This is a Jehovah's Witness therapist who is only interested in her religion and her family. She is NOT dedicated to the client AT ALL! She has a generic method of dealing with every client in the same way and is not open to any criticism or suggestions in changing, even if you bring to her attention that a particular method is not working for you. At that point she will try to find a reason to pass you off on someone else instead of dealing with the situation or making an adjustment. She is very quick to cancel appointments no matter how much you rely on those sessions and repeatedly brings up issues concerning her own family problems that she is experiencing and how she must be present for those instead. Marilyn Young-Mendenhall clearly chose this profession in order to work less hours while making enough money to support herself in her religious goals and agenda. She is not at all dedicated to the needs of the client, so do not think that she will be concerned with you. If you are in real need of a good psychologist, I would NOT choose this person as you will not get your needs taken care of! This profession is not the right one for her and she starts on a path that she is not capable of finishing and claims that she is "part-time" when she cannot finish the job. She will leave you hanging. She is also NOT qualified to handle any deeper issues. She is probably able to fly under the radar because most of her clients are Jehovah's Witnesses and are probably too nice to file a complaint against her. And she also knows how to lie in order to protect herself from losing her license. Whether you are a Jehovah's Witness or not, I tell you, DO NOT USE THIS PERSON! You will be disappointed and will waste your money. Use someone else!"
