Credential Clarification

​

I am posting this to clarify my credentials: 

 

It has been brought to my attention that there are some public listings of my private practice business that have gathered information from a telephone number that was assigned to my work address, and erroneously added the prior therapist tenant’s credentials, adding a PhD at the end of my business name on a few unauthorized advertisement sites. 

 

Though the yellow pages were contacted to make the correction it seems to have left a remnant attached to the phone number that has since been recruited by various sites and when you Google my name, it shows up on the third page of the listings under MapQuest, Manta, Trustborn, Wellness, Yellow Pages. These sites are unauthorized and sharing erroneous information. I have written to each of these sites to correct this publication mistake and have added a disclaimer onto my website as well.

 

I have never represented myself with any other certifications than the ones I have proudly earned. 

 

To clarify my credentials are :
