An Oakland County woman accused of posing as a board-certified therapist at the Oxford Recovery Center in Brighton will stand trial on numerous charges for the unauthorized practice of a health profession, identify theft, and witness intimidation, Attorney General Dana Nessel announced. Kimberly Casey Coden-Diskin, 34, was bound over for trial following a partial preliminary examination held on January 18 and February 1, 2023, before Judge Shauna Murphy in the 53rd District Court in Livingston County.
Coden-Diskin is charged with:
- Sixteen counts of unauthorized practice of a health profession, four-year felonies with a $5,000 fine; and
- Two counts of identity theft, five-year felonies with a $25,000 fine.
The Department of Attorney General alleges that Coden-Diskin falsely represented herself as a Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA) and used false credentials to treat highly vulnerable children diagnosed with Autism and work with their parents.
