All he/she needs to know in the email is that you're seeking a therapy which is within her scope of practice, and what sort of day or time is suitable for setting up an introductory interview.
So something like
Hello Mr Therapist,
I was recommended to you by <whomever>, and hoped to set up an introductory interview to discuss the possibility of therapy.
(optional sentence here about what you want therapy with - this can wait until the interview if you want more privacy than email offers)
I am available (mornings, evenings, nights, outside normal working hours, with a week's notice - whatever applies), and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
ArcticChicken.
