Dr. Mercedes McGowan, PHD

This so called "doctor" is no good. She does not give specific answers, only generalizations and ignores other parent. When asked what goal is and timeline she will not say just that you need ongoing therapy. When asked what changes you should expect to see she has no answer. My emails have been ignored on multiple occasions when following up on my child. She only listens to the parent paying the bill. Very sad, she is in it for the money not the betterment of families. Go find a real therapist.

Young daughter went to her for "anxiety" as coparent wanted to take child. The Dr. could not find anything specific to anxiety but kept scheduling 2 appointments a month but could never answer question about specifics. Dr. would ignore emails and questions. Child is doing great at school, has tons of friends and no behavior issues. When telling doctor child has no symptoms according to 3rd party sources Dr said she doesn't "subscribe to hat theory". Became clear to me Dr. would continue to see child for the money vs child best interests, stay away. This Dr s not interested in best interest of child.

The absolute BEST psychologist in the greater Jacksonville area. Extremely intelligent, resourceful, and will help you get the best help you need!

Recommended sending our daughters for therapy to erase brainwashing that never happened. Claimed our daughters needs immediate placement with their abusers and no contact with their family that they love because they will pay her to side with them in custody court. Sides with the parent that will supply the money, instead of listening to the children. Don't send your kids to the "retreats" she tries sending them too, they are nothing short of child abuse. Read the reviews of these places and the harm they cause!
