Dr. Cathleen Rea, PHD

Both me and my ex-husband have been working with her when we were having struggles coparenting. The idea was thought that should help us navigate the struggles come up with a game plan to make transition easier between the homes for both of our children. Every time she came to meetings completely unprepared. She’s not organized at all nor does she do any type of background reading to “refresh” herself on your case prior to meeting. She doesn’t maintain order or any type of focus during the meetings. Her focus certainly isn’t keeping the children first m, so if that is your goal, don’t use her.

Totally do not recommend this practitioner.

We hired Cathleen as our collaborative coach in 2019/20 and had a terrible experience. Never managed to gain the trust of myself or my wife. Got down in the weeds of our marital disputes and took sides. Stirred up a lot of muck and made me and my wife end up hating each other. Never put a financial plan together which left us facing bankruptcy. Put together a parenting plan for us and advised my wife against following it at crucial times. Matters were calming with a temporary custody agreement and then they exploded when without mutual consent she took sides on a matter after having heard only one parties grievance and took away custody. Frequently heard one side of the story and then made judgement. Arranged a meeting with our son. Emailed a confusing message which both me and my wife read as a cancellation of the meeting. Ignored my wife's request for clarification and confirmation of meeting. Then emailed to ask why we hadn't showed up for the session. Confusing Billing.
