Pauline Manalo, a therapist at this practice, has demonstrated highly unprofessional and unethical behavior. She has publicly disclosed sensitive details about patients’ lives and struggles, mocking and passing judgment on their behavior and attitudes. Additionally, she is currently involved in a legal dispute with me for refusing to return my valuable belongings, which constitutes theft.
