Dr. Edward William Vien, PsyD

The man is money and power motivated and he literally suggested that I sleep with an attorney in order to keep representation for myself and my 1 year old son because I had medical conditions and was isolated out here in The PNW. He allows horrible abuse and neglect to occur, acts like he doesn’t know about the psychopathy and plays it off and won’t help the person get the right support. He is gregarious and acts like a nice man but his morals are anything but.

He is very hard to schedule with. He only works 3 days a week. He was off almost every other week. He was completely inflexible with my work schedule. He charges $9000 for: 6 hours of talking, 2 bubble tests, reading a few letters, and transcribed boiler plate report. There is no home visit. After charging this much he tried to suggest himself to be a parent coordinator! Though I came out professional in his report - I gave him no handle to turn against me in our conversations - he rolled his eyes constantly during the sessions. This was despite very intentionally not saying anything negative about my ex; it was very unprofessional! I called him out -likely to my detriment- on his difficulty scheduling and he was not very professional in his response. In short - especially if you have any ounce of masculinity - avoid this guy. He is about 5”2 , with soft looking hands, and wore a sweater vest. Guys with little man complexes should not be judging fathers. Further, the courts should… not be allowed to let someone who charges this much to be assigned!
