"Andre is a complete joke as a Counselor. Unfortunately, I had him as a mediator years ago to recommend child custody between my ex-husband & I. Andre was totally inappropriate in his actions, and would only "test" my children in their father's home because he felt this would bolster the results in favor of the father. He lied and manipulated many situations with my ex and his attorney and stated that he never received the letters that my family & friends wrote him on my behalf. He also openly stated in court that my ex-husband admitted to physically striking/hitting the kids over the years, but this had no bearing on how he parents the children. Whattttt?? Thankfully, the Judge didn't agree with him and custody ended up 50/50. This guy lost his license years ago for having an affair with a client, while she was seeking marital counseling from him. This guy is a snake who should not ever counsel anybody!"

"Worst pc ever! Claims he does counseling although he lost his license years ago. Doesn't remember anything you talk about in the meetings and sided with my ex wife even though the court sided with me at the time. Created false bills and never did what he said he was going to. Made me get the parent ap and never opened any of the 42 emails I sent him. If he can be a PC ANYONE can be a PC. I would give him negative stars but it won't let me."

"In my early 20’s, I reached out to Dr Clayborne for help with an abusive family of origin. Dr Clayborne repaid my trust by engaging in a covert dual relationship with my emotionally unstable mother throughout the period I employed him. While I was Dr Clayborne's client, my mother stalked me openly. She would show up on my doorstep unannounced and send inappropriate cards and letters, despite being told I wanted no contact. I moved several times to protect myself. Years later, I discovered that Dr Clayborne had been meeting with her behind my back – and betraying my confidence to her – the whole time. The damage this did to my life can hardly be overstated. I have suffered a lifetime of chronic PTSD due in no small part to Dr Clayborne’s unrepentant dishonesty and incompetence. He actively enabled the abuse I experienced as a child to continue into my adulthood. He openly violated confidentiality, ignored accepted standards of practice, and aided and abetted criminal conduct. Dr Clayborne's license to practice was revoked by the State of South Dakota in 2012 for unrelated misconduct. He should NOT be in practice. Trust him at your own risk."

"Dr Clayborne IS the most disrespectful and most unhonest Evaluator, I've ever met! He skewd his report with information from a manipulative person and even in his report their own lies showed threw! I would not hire him for his services. I had an appointment with him out of state, and along with charging per diem, he brought his whole family to go stay, like they were on vacation! Do not trust this slimy person, he will always favor the manipulator!"

"This man is a very dishonest individual. I have brought him up with other professionals who have also agreed he cannot be trusted. We have heard claims he is inappropriate with his female clients and in our personal experience with him, he had double standards. He refused to speak to one party on the phone, claiming that he wanted everything in writing. Then was comfortable to have 20+ minute conversation with the female party involved in our case. Door was closed and just seemed very unprofessional and from what we could see through the window, intimate. I write this even having had him side with us on a few of our arguments. I do not believe he is fair if a female is involved and I question his integrity. I would highly recommend finding another professional to deal with. It has been a few years since our dealing with him, but I have talked to a few people recently that wished they had known this before reaching out to him. Beware!"
