I was attorney-referred to Diagnostic Assessment Center for an alcohol assessment and therapy. Sherry Barron IS Diagnostic Assessment Center (she calls herself Director of Services) , but it’s just her. The first couple of sessions her attitude was ok, and soon she was very disrespectful and, for lack of a better term, a “bully”. If I asked “why” about anything, I was told I was not following her “suggestions”. I asked if she could give me another recommendation for reading material as I didn’t get anything out of a certain book, she told me to get the same book on CD and listen to it 25-30 times per week, that it would be “different if I listened to the voice of the narrator” . I reread the book, thinking I might have missed something, and then proceeded to throw it in the trash. In my opinion, it was garbage. She told me her range of therapy included marital, grief, alcohol (and any other type), but all I received was a bunch of cheesy handouts copied from other materials. Sherry Barron was VERY angry when I told her I would be going elsewhere, I understand, she lost $460 cash per month from me and she does not accept cancelled appointments (she also does not accept insurance). If I had had my wits about me, my son committed suicide in April; I would have never tolerated such abuse. And don’t let her “credentials” fool you she’s only good on paper. She also calls herself a “therapist”, but she is not a psychologist, social worker, or any other professional (she’s licensed in giving alcohol assessments, anything else you’re wasting your time).
