I have never in my life come across such a vile human being. I learned of things she said to my child about me that are lies. She’s a nasty, trouble-making, hateful narcissist. The courts in MD who appt her are corrupt, and they know exactly what she does to the parent who doesn’t have money. She reminds me of Jodi Hildebrandt. An abuser who destroys parent-child relationships. May she rot in h*ll.

Patricia Cummings should not be working with children and families. She is extremely unprofessional, overly opinionated, careless, extremely unorganized, and highly biased to the side that can pay her more. Do not trust this predator to be fair in your therapy and family decisions. Patti, on numerous occasions, had other clients mixed in with our case. She would speak on other people’s children and situations not related to our case. Violating personal privacy information by having her “notes mixed up” then needing to be reminded of what case she should be looking at. She is a danger to families and her advice is not safe for those in need seeking help. She contradicts what’s she’s said, reschedules appointments often, calls without warning when an appointment hasn’t even been scheduled, then bills the card on file to fit her own needs.

I would highly suggest googling this "professional" prior to engaging her services. I couldn't agree more with the numerous negative reviews, and also wish I could give zero stars. She is a disgrace to the otherwise noble profession of social work and counseling. I have had to file a court order to have her removed from our case, and filed complaints against her with the state Board of Health. Fortunately for me she was stupid enough to put into print the egregious things she has done involving my children. She absolutely chooses a side and could honestly care less about the issues presented. From what I've read and seen from other reviews online, she almost always singles out the mother to alienate. Consider yourself warned. I only wish I had googled her prior to agreeing to her services. How she is still licensed is absurd.

I can't believe the courts actually allow Patti to be a court appointed Parent Coordinator. She doesn't' listen or care about the parents’ concerns, she makes unilateral decisions, she DOES NOT care about the children involved. She talks over you, interrupts, and cuts you off when speaking. My X is very wealthy and pays her bills - she has sided with him on every issue. She ignores my emails and phones calls while she has meetings with my X regularly to find out what he wants and then sends me an email saying she has made a decision - which is always in his favor. She changes the custody schedule, she makes decisions FAR beyond what she is legally allowed to do. She picks one side and abuses the person on the other side. She schedules meetings and is VERY late for them or doesn't show up for them, meanwhile if you are late for a meeting or don't show up she charges you for the meeting. She cares about her financial gain only - the children and one parent will always suffer with Patti. She drags every meeting out to last twice as long even though you need to get back to work (just so she can make more money). She will tell you she is going to not allow your X to do something with your children and then does nothing when he does it anyway. She is not honest, she cannot be trusted, she holds a grudge, and she is resentful and mean. She had allowed my X to do things that are harmful and dangerous to the children, and she just doesn't care - after all he pays the bills. Patti should not be part of Anne Arundel County (or any county) Family Court System - she causes more problems instead of resolving them and she empowers the person she has chosen as her favorite. Don't trust her, Don't use her, get you and your children as far away from her as possible.

Appalling. Biased, unprofessional, incompetent. Contradicts her own decisions, and bills you for the privilege. Downright dangerous in family cases, should have had her licence revoked years ago.

i wish i could give no stars. i would give negative stars if i could. unprofessional, biased, and unreliable are three words i would use to describe Patti Cummings. find someone else if she is ever recommended to you as a parent coordinator because you will be frustrated and disappointed. she is more interested in receiving regular payments from gullible clients than stick to her role as a parent coordinator and encourage the parties to communicate and resolve disputes on their own. she puts her financial interest ahead of what is in the best interest of your child. when exposed for being biased and exceeding the scope of her role as parent coordinator she will not step down. if you are stuck with her, she is harder to get rid of than a bad cold. it is unfortunate that Maryland does not have any regulations regarding parent coordinators because until there is bad social workers like Patti Cummings will continue to provide poor services for co-parents without any consequences.

This counselor is by far the best i have ever encountered! She listens but does not put up the petty stuff and let you wallow. She sees both sides and is productive in her feedback. Unlike other counselors who take your money to let you vent with no productive game plan, Patti helps you develop a realistic plan to deal with the issues.

There is no mediation or counseling with Patti Cummings. She is rude, nasty, biased and overly opinionated. Do NOT see this woman she is a disgrace to the profession. If you are in a high conflict divorce she will choose sides and make your life a living hell. She has no standards of best practices nor does she follow the courts or the best interest of the child.

They either didn't read my information or didn't pay any attention to it. Even though they had my information right in front of them, I kept having to explain it to them and remind them why I was there. I'm usually somewhat sensitive to the cold, so I was a little worried that their office would be too cold, but it was fine. I was very comfortable the entire time. I feel like my appointment was pointless. None of my questions were answered, nothing was accomplished, and I felt worse when I left. Whenever I have a question, even if it's very basic, they always make me schedule an appointment, which is extremely frustrating. They didn't follow through with almost everything they told me I would get when I first arrived. I feel like they slighted me.

Did this psychologist use excessive foul language?
Not at all! They are always respectful and courteous!
