Dr. Sharon Katz, PHD

I had one appt with Sharon Katz a few years back. During my appt, I began crying while sharing about a horrific abuse that I endured as a child. I’m not exaggerating when I say Sharon Katz responded by snapping, “why don’t we tone down the dramatics” and then trying to diagnose me with Borderline Personality Disorder after this one session, our first time EVER meeting. I remember going home feeling like I’d just been spit on. I was 18 at the time, and later ended up being diagnosed with a raging eating disorder, CPTSD, and ADHD … none of which Sharon Katz had considered, as she was too concerned with belittling me and getting me out the door. Sharon Katz caused me to develop a fear of psychiatrists, and I still think about how she treated me to this day. If Sharon had actually provided compassionate, informed care, I could’ve received help a lot sooner. I’m sorry to see that other people had similar experiences, but it’s validating to know that I wasn’t the only one.
