What recent reviews say

Eating disorder specialists value her expertise and no-excuses accountability; recovery outcomes are real. Older complaints cite pressure to refer out to ERC Denver rather than provide direct therapy, and report feeling unheard. Evidence is limited by age spread and small sample.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • expert in eating disorder treatment
  • no-nonsense recovery approach
  • takes patient health seriously
Watch-outs
  • pushes ERC referrals over direct care
  • not compassionate or patient-centered
  • dismissive approach
skilled-staffjudgment-free

Think twice if: Clients seeking warm rapport or those who prefer therapy-first over external referral networks may want to ask about her approach first.

  • long-term client retention

Worth knowing

  • CEDS-S certification in eating disorders

One client reports a serious positive experience with a responsive team and good progress with Ms. Beverly. However, multiple reviews allege unethical conduct: hidden charges beyond 30 minutes, demanded upfront payment before services, sudden dismissal, rudeness, and breach of confidentiality. Evidence is limited.

Most reviewers report meaningful relief from long-standing anxiety, phobias, and driving fears within weeks, citing Dr. Mau's skill and reassuring manner. One detailed account raised concerns about insufficient intake history, uncomfortable physical proximity, and unrealistic promises that left the client with lasting distress; others praise his training programs and professional credentials highly.
