therapist Matt Manka Lifestream Solutions in Arizona

my Mother,Debbie Manka ,went off and married her Psychologist/therapist Matt Manka. It destroyed our family and my brothers mental health(as teens) as well as mine. it also destroyed my fathers health as he and my mother(debbie)r were going to Matt for marriage counseling initially. Now Matt and Debbie are running Lifestream Solutions in Arizona.I personally do not think they should be allowed to counsel anyone ,as dating your client is against the rules,right? I feel totally manipulated by Matt Manka,our whole family does. He has manipulated other clients of his to sleep with him and married another female client of his. Any comments on all this? kris
