Dr. Mariam R Chandler, APN

A Dangerous and Incompetent Practitioner This nurse, who supposedly specializes in psychiatry, is incompetent and should have her license taken away. I do not say that lightly. I say it after watching my daughter suffer irreparable harm under her so-called "care." This woman knows nothing about psychiatry or psychology. It became painfully clear from the very beginning that she has no grasp of evidence-based treatment, no understanding of therapeutic communication, and no business working with vulnerable patients. Rather than guiding my daughter toward healing and stability, she consistently steered her in the wrong direction completely — undermining her self-esteem, dismissing her concerns, and doing the exact opposite of what any competent mental health professional should do. As a direct result of this woman's words and behavior, my daughter now suffers from extreme eating disorders. A person who was supposed to help her instead planted seeds of self-hatred and body shame that have… taken root in devastating ways. My daughter's health, both physical and mental, has deteriorated significantly, and we are fighting every single day to undo the damage that was done. After my daughter saw her, she came home crying because of the way she was treated. Instead of feeling supported and heard, my daughter felt belittled, judged, and dismissed. No one— especially a young person — should ever leave a so called medical practitioner feeling worse. This incompetent woman should have her license taken away immediately!
