She shouldn't be recruiting *clients*. Was the second review a client, or do you think it was another peer?
I remember reading that therapists asking clients for reviews is unethical and shouldn't be done. Here's what one therapist says:

The American Psychological Association’s Ethics Code under which I practice states under Principle 5.05 that it is unethical for a psychologist to solicit testimonials. The full text states: “Psychologists do not solicit testimonials from current therapy clients/patients or other persons who because of their particular circumstances are vulnerable to undue influence.” Ethics Codes for social workers and marriage and family therapists have similar provisions.

The Yelp Dilemma: Clients Reviewing Their Therapists on Review Sites - Dr. Keely Kolmes
I think I mentioned it before... but I really, really hate when therapists (or doctors) have reviews from co-workers/peers. There was one therapist that my ex-T had recommended to me (loosely recommended, he didn't know her personally), but she only had 2 reviews up, one was an unhappy client, and the other was another therapist in the area (I recognized the name) who did NOT disclose that he was a therapist. It seems so underhanded (obviously, I chose to not call up that T).
I'm sorry it's been so hard for you.
