Antisemitic shrink blasted for her nasty tirade at Jewish woman: ‘Germans should have ended your kind'
The backlash has also seen Elmont social worker Gineth Nelson scrubbed from Psychology Today's therapist listings after the vile antisemitic tirade was exposed.
Efforts were said to be underway to have her removed from ZocDoc as well as other sites, and there is a letter-writing campaign calling on New York State to pull her license to practice.

'Hamas is still holding the bodies of 28 murdered hostages,' started the meme. 'These are not just numbers, they are human beings, stolen from their families even in death. Only monsters withhold the dead. This cruelty must end. Their bodies must be returned home for a dignified burial, as every person deserves.'
The victim's identity has been blurred in screenshots of the threatening, now-deleted exchange.
'And how many humans have your people killed,' Nelson asked in response. 'I'm sure its more than 28. Germans should've ended your kind. Anyone who could agree with this are the true monsters.'
'Language like this is appalling, no matter who says it, and must be unequivocally condemned,' said Eric Post, the Long Island director for the American Jewish Committee.

'At a time when Jews in this country face unprecedented levels of antisemitism, incidents like these show we all have to take a zero-tolerance approach toward anti-Jewish hatred,' Post continued.
Nelson, who is also licensed in New York City, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, could not be reached for comment.

She runs Whole Health Counseling in Elmont, and specializes in addiction, depression and anxiety treatment employing cognitive behavioral therapy, a common type of talk therapy.
A woman claiming to be her assistant told The Post Thursday Nelson's social media accounts had been hacked, but offered no proof of such a breach.
Online, Nelson also claims to be in the real estate business, as she sets up short-term housing for traveling nurses.
Instagram account StopAntisemitism is also urging her clients to seek therapy and housing elsewhere.
'Antisemitism has infected the therapy world at alarming rates,' offered Physicians Against Antisemitism in an Instagram post, shaming Nelson for her comment. 'This is a reminder once again to vet your medical professionals.'

Father arrested in New York in death of 9-year-old daughter he had reported missing
LATHAM, N.Y. -- A Canadian man whose 9-year-old daughter was found dead after he reported that she had been abducted while they were vacationing in upstate New York was charged Monday with murder. Luciano Frattolin is charged with murder and concealing of a corpse in the death of his daughter, Melina Frattolin, New York State Police Capt. Robert McConnell said. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf at the 45-year-old Montreal man's arraignment Monday, Times-Union of Albany reported. The lawyer and the public defender's office assigned to defend Frattolin did not immediately respond to Associated Press phone and email requests for comment. Luciano Frattolin called 911 Saturday night to report that has daughter had been abducted from a parking lot near Lake George, a resort town in the Adirondack region, authorities said. That led officials to issue an Amber Alert to enlist the public's help in finding her. But authorities said over the weekend that there were inconsistencies in the father's account, and that they concluded there was no evidence she had been taken. 'He fabricated the initial report of the abduction,' McConnell said. Investigators found the girl's body on Sunday in the shallows of a pond about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Lake George, near New York's border with Vermont, authorities said. Police said the father and daughter had been vacationing in the U.S. and were expected back in Montreal on Sunday. The girl lived with her mother, who has been estranged from Luciano Frattolin since 2019, police said. Frattolin did not respond to requests for comment sent via LinkedIn, Instagram and his company website over the weekend. He described himself as a 'loving father' on his Instagram profile, and on the website of a coffee company said to be founded by him, a post says that his daughter Melina is 'the light of his life.' —-
