Quick note: Dresdner has previously worked at Westchester Medical Center, North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, Bais Ezra, Bikur Cholim, and HASC.In June, 2018, Plaintiff Jane Doe was suffering from depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues as a result of trauma she had suffered during her life, and sought treatment by Daniel Dresdner, who was working at DAAS. According to the complaint, beginning in 2019 Dresdner began grooming Jane Doe by paying her complements on her jewelry, clothes, and physical appearance. Between April and June 2020, treatment took place over the phone, but returned to in-person treatment at DAAS. According to the complaint, Dresdner at some point invited Jane Doe to his home for an appointment, and spoke to her for many hours until 2 AM by the firepit in his backyard.Jane Doe alleges that in June of 2020, Dresdner deceived her into meeting him for a session in a park in New York City. After arriving at the park, the complaint alleges that Dresdner informed Jane Doe that he had had to stay in New York City, and started confiding in her about his personal life. The complaint then details what he disclosed: That he had been arrested in Florida in May 2020 for assaulting a police officer, among other charges, that he had a drug and alcohol addiction, and that he had personal issues at home. According to the complaint, Jane Doe was shocked not only by the information but also because she had paid for this session which was supposed to be focused on her own wellbeing, not his. Not knowing any better, Jane Doe alleges that she trusted him as he continued to normalize this conduct with her.
