The Hidden Diploma: How a Fake Psy.D. Haunted 17 Years of Care

Fear that a trusted clinician might be a fraud: a hidden mahogany frame revealed a Psy.D. that never existed, and that forged credential quietly authorized seventeen years of child therapy across clinics, classrooms, and publications. How did a technically convincing fake diploma pass licensing and become everyday evidence of legitimacy-and who failed to look twice?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the diploma’s discovery to the record of Patterson’s education, employment, licensing, and public-facing practice, tracing the moments when knowledge substituted for credential and the systems that missed verification. What does the full record reveal about Harvey D. Patterson’s work, his deception, and the consequences that followed?
Person: Harvey D. Patterson
Date: September 14, 2019
Location: Dunmore Road (vacant office crawl space)
Education: BA in Psychology (May 1997); MA in Developmental Psychology (May 1999), both from Crestfield University
Event: Discovery of fabricated doctoral diploma hidden behind a cinder block
- The fake Psy.D. diploma was found wedged behind a cinder block in a mahogany frame with its gold seal intact on September 14, 2019.
- Patterson earned a BA in Psychology in May 1997 and an MA in Developmental Psychology in May 1999 from Crestfield University.
- After three doctoral program rejections in 1999, Patterson completed one unpaid one-week practicum that fall and no further documented supervised clinical work.
- In spring 2001 Patterson submitted a provisional psychology license application including a self-fabricated doctoral diploma produced with desktop publishing, a laser printer, embossing tools, and matched paper stock.
- Patterson opened a private practice in 2002 displaying three framed diplomas (BA, MA, fabricated doctorate) and had a waiting list within three years.
