The pandemic was tough but the quarantine was a back breaker and to go through it in near complete isolation was devastating. I sought professional support from Nzinga Cates to help me through some family issues made worse by the quarantine.
Due to my depression (which she was supposed to have been helping me with) I had to cancel a few sessions. I would ALWAYS let Cates know that I had to cancel by using her scheduling system prior to the appointment.
To my surprise, the last time I had to cancel, I immediately I started getting all of these texts and emails alerting me that all of my future appointments had been canceled. I also immediately received an email letting me know she was dumping me as a patient due to my failure to keep appointments. It was like it was all drafted up and she just inserted my name and hit send.
This is a cold, uncaring counselor. If you are in a depression that makes it hard for you to get out of bed and you have to reschedule appointments, then go to a different counselor. The irony is incredible: the condition she's supposed to have been helping me with - and not doing a great job I might add - is the reason it's very difficult for me to get to her appointments so that she could treat me. The answer would have been patience for someone in a lot of pain. read more
