Unprofessional Behavior

Viper Jackson mentioned that Dr. Cottam refused to answer her phone, while Joolyen reported that Dr. Cottam got frustrated when discussing cultural competence and told her that she was "playing the race card." Lisa & Nate Pitts mentioned that Dr. Cottam ignored the results of a psychological evaluation and instead gave her own biased opinion in court.
Biased and Unfair Treatment
Reviewers have also accused Dr. Cottam of being biased and unfair in her treatment of clients. Lisa & Nate Pitts reported that Dr. Cottam ignored the father's concerns and gave the mother of the children full custody, despite the father being a good and involved parent. Joolyen mentioned that her children did not feel comfortable talking to Dr. Cottam, and that Dr. Cottam seemed more interested in promoting her own diversity credentials than in understanding the needs of her clients.
