Founding director and primary therapist for the Cool Oak house at Malibu Vista: Dr. Sarah Stuchell.

Dr. Stuchell is clearly intelligent, driven and beautiful, but when it comes to connecting with her clients, she falls short. Her demeanor vacillates between distant and overly familiar. Most clients experience her as being inconsistent, superficial and disinterested in what they have to share. She can take an accusatory stance one minute and then invite you out to see a movie or play tennis the next.
Dr. Sarah Stuchell struggles to maintain professional boundaries or exercise minimum judgment to provide clients with a safe, secure environment to work through difficult issues. She takes selfies of herself in between clients, at the expense of timeliness for sessions.

While her personal life is her own to lead, it is problematic when she posts pictures and comments online about the "chaos" at work; any client who comes across such comments may very well internalize the message and condemn themselves or feel embarassed.

Her lack of discretion with frontal selfies, refrences to "milf", drunkeness, sexiness...etc online match the inconsistencies and superficiality experienced by her clients in session.
