Melanie Brown, LMSW

She countertransfers too much. She will often bring in her own experience, maybe in order to establish empathy, but she reveals too much, and the client may be put in a position to become the therapist. She blames her client from the get go when that blame, such as the claim that her client is being too defensive, comes too early when the client could have learned so much by discovering it on his or her own. She is more intelligent than most. She seems burntout with too many probs of her own.
