Dr. Nelson Leach is a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner. He completed his advanced nursing degrees at Duke University and Fairfield University.

One of his proudest accomplishments was participating in a medical mission to the Philippines to provide pro bono surgical care for locals. Dr. Leach realized the importance of mental health awareness while working with our nation’s heroes at the Veterans Affairs Hospital. He further honed his mental health skills in rehabilitation centers and skilled nursing facilities throughout Connecticut.
