From the very beginning, she was hostile. I took it that it stemmed from arriving at 5:40pm when the appointment was at 5:30pm. Granted...I tried calling her in advance. As we sat down I observed her just as she observed me. She seemed to be repeating her words, voice shaking...overall behavior of a much older woman than I imagined based on her picture. She seemed to be suffering some sort of ailment because she had this elder jitter to her body. I overlooked it and got comfortable. From the beginning she asked me my ethnicity and where I was from. I didn’t take it as that she was racially profiling me until the end. We went into my childhood, mother and all that fun stuff. She was extremely defensive about my childhood and fear of death. We touched upon school, and what I aspire to be. Immediately said fashion stylist and consultants make no money. If I don’t attend FIT forget it, I will never excel in the fashion realm. Disregarded my dream of incorporating fashion in entrepreneurship, claiming entrepreneurs do not make money. When we touched upon my current job she assumed I was getting my insurance through them, when I told her I did not, all hell broke loose. She demanded to know who paid my insurance and I explained I got it through the NYS but that I told showed her my card prior to us beginning the session. Apparently she concluded I must of been a welfare case but I repeatedly handed her my card and information. I even had the pictures and details when I booked the appointment on Zocdoc. She then proceed to curse and say I need to make a cash payment now of $150, I told her how humiliating this was and how this attitude isn’t helping the anxiety. I called my insurance in the morning and apparently it would have all been covered. I immediately tried to call my insurance again but she gave me no time. She scream GET OUT. I got up and tried to grab my things and then she screamed “GET OUT NOW Based on everything I heard YOU’RE GOING NOWHERE IN LIFE” I was shocked “FUCKING WASTE OF MY TIME WELFARE CASE GET OUT NOW” Harsh right? Didn’t have time to put my coat on and ran out in the rain. It was a horrible experience. This a mental professional, yet her practice is unethical.
