Relationship Co 7709 Constitution Avenue Northeast, Albuquerque, NM 87110

"After moving to Albuquerque, I had a lot of stress and anxiety to deal with surrounding my new job, my mild fear of flying, the strain put upon all my personal relationships, etc.. Dr. Clarke did an amazing job of helping me find constructive strategies for dealing with my problems. I'd highly recommend her to anyone."

"Would absolutely recommend Mrs. Clarke"

"Myself and my partner of 11 years visited Dr. Rosemary Clarke, owner of The Relationship Company in Albuquerque at 7709 Constitution NE, for help in exploring why we were having problems communicating. As a heterosexual couple deeply in love for over a decade we wanted to save our relationship and make it even better than it had been before. After several sessions with Dr. Clarke it became apparent to both of us that she preferred to view things through a female set of eyes. Both my partner and I thought she was unfair it her assessment of men in general and I began to feel like I was in the wrong on many accounts because of my sex. At one point, months into therapy I reached the tipping point and verbally disagreed with Dr. Clarke during a session. Dr. Clarke raised her voice and continued to verbally abuse me and rather than continue to argue with her I left the session telling her I would not be back. That would be bad enough, but the worst part came after I left. My partner would later inform me that after I left the room Dr. Rosemary Clarke counseled her and urged her to “immediately leave” me because I was not good enough for her and things between her and I would not improve. These statements came from the very doctor who was entrusted with helping us to rebuild our relationship. Together my partner and I visited Dr. Rosemary Clarke and paid her for counseling on how to save our relationship – as a couple. Instead, while I was out of the room she counseled my partner to leave me. Based on the 2014 American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics this was improper and unprofessional behavior for Dr. Rosemary Clarke. Under “Section A.6.d. Role Changes in the Professional Relationship” a counselor must obtain consent from the client when “changing from individual to relationship or family counseling, or vice versa” and “clients must be fully informed of any anticipated consequences (e.g., financial, legal, personal, therapeutic) of counselor role changes.” Dr. Rosemary Clarke was hired by my partner as a relationship counselor to help us with our relationship. Instead, she counseled my partner individually when I was out of the room. Dr. Clarke never told me she wanted to speak to my partner without me being present, and obviously she never obtained my consent pursuant to the ACA Code of Ethics. We never saw Dr. Clarke after the aforementioned incident but frankly, the damage was already done because on several occasions afterwards my partner would remind me that “Dr. Clarke told me to leave you.” Eventually she did, and I am not blaming Dr. Clarke for our relationship ultimately falling apart, but it certainly did not help. If you are truly interested in saving your relationship or working on relationship goals please think twice before entrusting Dr. Rosemary Clarke to help you."
