See what our patients are saying about Nicole Nichols

I've always been nervous about talking with a psychiatrist, due to some things in my past as a child but I can honestly say Nicole Nicols. She is a very understanding listener and without judgment of any kind I highly recommend her to anyone that has white coat syndrome cause I have issues with anxiety when it comes to going to the doctor but I believe I found my place finally 😀 just one more thing I need a primary care doctor and a good dentist. Thank you Lifestance!!!!@@

Seeing Nicole at LifeStance has really helped me in my struggles with mental health. She is a very empathic and energetic provider, and she is a great person to talk too. I was in a very dark place before I started seeing Nicole, and she helped immensely.
