Leah Alcid, PMHNP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

With a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Nursing, both from Columbia University, combined with over a decade of experience in behavioral health and nursing, I have developed a well-rounded understanding of both the physical and psychological aspects of mental health. I’m committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and respected. I believe that genuine connection and collaboration are essential for healing. Together, we will focus on helping you better understand yourself, uncover the root causes of your symptoms, and determine the most effective path forward—whether through therapy, psychiatric medication, or a combination of both.

Getting to know Leah Alcid

With a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Nursing, both from Columbia University, combined with over a decade of experience in behavioral health and nursing, I have developed a well-rounded understanding of both the physical and psychological aspects of mental health. I’m committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and respected. I believe that genuine connection and collaboration are essential for healing. Together, we will focus on helping you better understand yourself, uncover the root causes of your symptoms, and determine the most effective path forward—whether through therapy, psychiatric medication, or a combination of both.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe effective mental health care starts with understanding the whole person—not just their symptoms. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized, combining evidence-based treatment with medication management when appropriate. While I practice from a psychodynamic foundation and enjoy helping clients understand the deeper patterns that shape their thoughts, emotions, and relationships, I also focus on practical tools that can improve day-to-day functioning and quality of life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work closely with each client to create a treatment plan tailored to their unique goals, strengths, and challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, mood instability, life transitions, trauma, substance use, or relationship difficulties, my goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. I view treatment as a true partnership. You are the expert on your experiences, and I bring clinical knowledge, guidance, and support to help you navigate challenges and achieve your goals. Together, we will develop a plan that feels right for you, build on your strengths, and work toward lasting emotional wellness, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with your values.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $375 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $175 for 30 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
