Is this how a mental health professional should act?
Question:
Subject: Ph.D
Message: Want to compare my Ph.D to your GED, ****? Hahahahaha!
I win!
This was the response I received when I asked if she had a Ph. D. Amazing isn't it? Sadly, she doesn't realize I have a degree in English and Communications from a prestigious university. . . What a jerk!
BTW, she doesn't allow contact. . . Dish it but can't take it!
Answers:
I may never understand why people with advanced degrees feel the need to make others feel inferior. I happen to work on weekends at a children's store, because I like my coworkers at the shop, the kids are fun to work with, and I started there when I started college. I now have my Master's degree (despite being young) and most parents who come to the store assume I am a high schooler.
I've gotten wise and started replying, at least my parents didn't buy my way through school.
Anyway, to your question, no that is not the way for a professional to act. I'd possibly consider contacting the state lincesing board, and informing them that she failed to provide her credentials when asked for them while you were considering seeking her expertise. But I am curious, if she doesn't allow contact, how did you pose the question about the PhD in the first place??
Excellent, my queen! The cognitive bomb is almost in place, my lord. Soon, the world shall quake at the mere mention of your title afflicted upon you by the . oh yeah, who exactly?
Dr. Disney indeed.
Your name alone invokes copyright infringement!!
Destroy all monsters, sir!
XOXO

no! i would be offended if anyone talked to me like that, never mind my doctor!
Queen, I had the same run in with this woman. She was advertising here on answers when I reported her. She knew it was me and then sent me a nasty email and blocked me. She isn't who she says she is, ignore her. She just hasn't gotten past Junior High. . .
She is probably the one with the G.E.D.
Dr Disney is still around on Answers, active almost exclusively in Singles and Dating. None of her answers read much like a professional, and a Google search shows her existing only on YA. So I would say she is almost certainly a complete fraud.
