Mcmillan Toni PHD

"Toni was (in my honest, personal opinion) an underperforming (and quite rude) psychologist and therapist. I came to her during my late teen years. She was passive aggressive the entire time she treated me. On my first visit (after introduction), she jumped out at me and demanded the check right away (she even snapped her fingers). Her next statement was: “we know why you’re here - because your father abandoned you.” My father never abandoned me. He has been involved, supportive and instructive in my life since the day I was born through adulthood. Not every teen wanting help has father issues. I don’t think anyone’s interested in a licensed professional projecting his or her own private issues onto the client. I said I was (at the time) a licensed realtor, her next statement was “you just do that because you like the money.” She immediately claims to have trained under the “very best in New York City”. I myself now have a Master’s degree from the University of California (San Diego) and have had an expansive exposure to the psychological literature. As a client, I can’t honestly say Toni utilizes the techniques she claims to be so thoroughly trained in (mainly CBT). Toni’s approach is not only unprofessional it is also every bit condescending, passive aggressive, and, frankly, disturbing to see a “professional” conduct business in such a manner. Clients (especially the youth) seek professional help for a reason. It is of the utmost importance to respect and nurture the client’s sense of safety and vulnerability that it requires to open up in an honest way. And, to most importantly, respect the client in this state of vulnerability. I hope Toni realizes that when she conducts herself as she did in my case as her client, that she is not rendering a service that respects or values her client and does nothing other than enhance her own sense of grandiosity (and quite sadistically at that). I fully stand by this comment as it is completely factual and an honest review of the services rendered to me by this professional. I can provide proof of visit."

"Dr. McMillan was referred to me by another therapist who was working with my son. I will forever be grateful. Due to personal problems, it was a time when I was at a very low point in my life. I was struggling emotionally and filled with anxiety. I was finding it difficult to function on a day to day basis. I wanted to die. Dr. McMillan never gave up on me even though, at first, I found it hard to verbalize my feelings and talk openly to her. She chipped away at the wall I had built around myself. She helped me to become aware of how my own actions and thoughts affect my ability to cope. Thanks to her, I live a more fulfilling and fun life. She is a fair, forthright, honest, and trustworthy therapist. I highly recommend her."

"Dr. McMillan has been treating me for more than two years, I am blessed to have found such an amazing doctor for my PTSD. She has literally saved my life. I owe everything to her and I would recommend her to anyone that needs her specialty of help."
