When my therapist left the agency, she made every effort to transition me to another therapist at New Leaf. I, however, googled her name and found she was working at another practice. In my last session, I asked if I could come see her at her other location. She told me she was contractually bound not to take clients with her and she again reassured me, as she had repeatedly, that my needs could be met with another therapist at New Leaf. The following week, I contacted Patrick Malloy, the executive director to ask if he would consider waiving any non-compete, so I could continue to see my therapist, as I felt I was at a critical point in therapy. Rather then hear my request, Mr Malloy took the opportunity to berate my therapists "poor boundaries," and to make other disparaging remarks about her, including trying to force a bizarre narrative that she had tried to "turn me against" the agency. On top of that, he then had my therapist contact me and recite his party line, apologizing for her poor boundaries, for anything she said that reflected poorly on New Leaf (nothing) and telling me she could not continue to see me (she'd already said this). As long as Mr Malloy is affiliated with New Leaf, I won't be pursuing therapy there and will tell anyone and everyone I know to STAY AWAY. He certainly clarified that bashing an outgoing therapist is more of a priority to him then hearing out a client and considering my request.
I have worked for New Leaf as an In-Home therapist for 6 months now. It has been a very positive experience for me overall. I feel the organization is very well run and committed to providing quality service for all of their clients. I feel personally I have grown a great deal from working with the leadership of this organization. I've truly had nothing but positive dealings with all of the leadership team and support staff. I'm grateful for the experience of working at New Leaf and hope that more individuals have the opportunity to utilize the wonderful services they provide.
I am a former volunteer who spent roughly two and a half years at New Leaf. Volunteering at New Leaf Behavioral Health was a fantastic experience. I loved working with Dava, Patrick, and the office staff. During my time at New Leaf I was able to work on a variety of projects, such as grant writing and quality assurance, as well as assist with the daily tasks that keep New Leaf running. My experience proved to me how important it is to make therapy accessible for everyone. I am motivated more than ever to pursue a career that will allow me to embody the mission of providing mental health services to underserved populations.
New Leaf provides excellent, high-quality care for their patients. Their team practices with integrity and respect. They are always looking for ways to enhance their programs in order to best serve our community.
I do not recommend the services here. Office staff and the executive director all have proved very challenging. I enjoyed working with my therapist, but eventually had to stop our work bc of conflicts with the ED and front staff around confidentiality and HIPPA.
Update: In regards to the cut and paste response posted below, New Leaf made no effort to hear me out or work with me. Malloy was rude and condescending. If this company truly valued their clients and reputation, Mr Malloy, their representative, would have conducted himself professionally or at least not like an uneducated jerk. Trash talking an outgoing therapist while refusing to even acknowledge my question are really two marks of someone who is insecure and unethical and should not be in a leadership role, in any business, much less the executive director in a helping field. Feedback was attempted to be given directly but Patrick Malloy was seemingly incapable of listening and instead was rude, insensitive and unprofessional.
