Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I can't imagine how Dr Stark was ever on Orange County's approved list of therapists. I truly hope she is no longer practicing and harming parents and kids of the county any longer. Her focus is not real psychology and definitely not on doing what she's paid to do: reunite families. Her only cares seem to be women, girls, insects, unicorns, fairy dust, and charging way too much. The county needs real psychologists who actually care and want kids to see their parents.

She is unprofessional and odd and her dog bit me
Her dog bit me and instead of apologizing she called me the next day saying she had to put her dog to sleep. I told her I wouldn’t do anything because I have a love for animals . So be careful around her dog. She chooses sides and the last thing she does is reunite kids with their families. She is super odd and unprofessional . She talks about her own problems . Her program for reuniting kids is a joke there is nothing “master” about it . And when she gets together with the coparenting therapist sue tonkins it’s a disaster to families . They just want to keep pulling you through the system to make money . They really have no care for your kids or you. They work together it’s so corrupt and cause more drama and ruined my daughter for life .

As many have said here, money is all that she is after. She does not care about my child or our family. She tries hard to pass herself off as compassionate and caring with the whole fairy godmother BS but she is an evil witch in disguise. Please stay away if you can help it. There are so many more caring and well-qualified individuals for your need.

She was a court ordered therapist on behalf of my daughter... if you get her, beg for another. She made the relationship with my daughter and her father worse. She seems in it for the money. She was caught in 3 lies to me, my daughter and her father. RUN THE OTHER WAY!!!! Read other reviews about her online, I am NOt the only one. She should not have her license!!!!

No stars. Th most disturbed and disturbing person I have ever come across. Can see by what I've read all over the place that my experience with her, and that of my ex-spouse and child, was completely the norm for her. Our experience was many years ago. It's clear that she hasn't changed. Would highly discourage anyone from getting involved with this person and her "practice". An extremely distructive and dishonest person who seems to take pleasure in adding to people's misery at the worst tim
