Nicole Leach Psychotherapist

I’ve reached out to her through email to see if she was taking new patients and whether she accepted my insurance. She let me know that she didn’t do weekends and offered to help me find a therapist. I said yes because I’ve had a hard time finding one. Through our email exchange she asked what I was looking for, if there were any preferences in regards to the location and why I was looking. I replied back telling her my reason. In the end I decided I would like to try and see her since she seemed so helpful and understanding. I asked to make an appointment with her if it was ok with her and we can see how it goes from there. I received a very different email after that. All it said was:
Hi,
I only see patients in the evening and don’t accept you insurance.
Sorry.

It was a very different tone from all the previous emails. It was very confusing. She didn’t say anything about not taking my insurance before and she had offer to refer someone. So I am a bit shocked to see this email reply. It made me feel like I was wasting her time (even though she was offering to help…)
As a person looking for help, I’m ok someone telling me that they don’t take my insurance and everything. But, don’t offer to help and then shun me off. It’s already emotionally difficult enough to find someone and reach out to them for help.

First of all, it might be strange to post a recommendation of this nature on Unilocal,but I find all of the medical provider recommendations so helpful so I thought I would share a wonderful experience that I had.
I had been looking for a therapist in NYC since I moved here a few months ago. A friend highly recommended Nicole Leach so I gave her a call. I made an appointment to see her after work on a Monday night.
Nicole made me feel very comfortable from the moment I met her. Our first session was life-​changing. She didn’t try to «fix» me — she listened to me and helped me come up with tools to be a happier and healthier person.
Nicole is a gifted and talented therapist. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
