For a licensed therapist; Ms. McLaughlin needs to go back to school and learn counseling 101. Her office is not set up for confidentiality. She will answer her phone mid session; regardless of you are pouring your soul out re-living a traumatic experience. That is an automatic "no no" in mental health counseling. She has left her filing cabinet open and I saw the names of her clients.   Gave me incorrect diagnosis which was submitted to my insurance company. Has no medical knowledge. If you have chronic illness; she will have no idea what you are talking about. Not up to speed on current psychiatric medications. I'm on a fairly new antidepressant; she never heard of it. Can hear every noise in the connecting offices which means they can hear your conversation. I suggested a noise maker for "white" noise to be placed outside her door to help   Most therapists that share space at least invest in this cheap tool. When I asked why she had to keep answering the phone during my sessions; she stated the mute button was broken. I advised her to purchase a new phone. No excuse for her in my opinion. I do the same type of work and was frankly appalled.  On the plus side; she is a very nice lady.
