See what our patients are saying about Nicole Nichols

Nicole Nicholes is the best Psychiatrist I have yet to see in the 15+ years I have been seeing different psychiatrist's. She is professional, she is so genuinely caring and always really listens to my concerns and needs. She is extremely educated about every medication, the side effects and because she goes above and beyond she had me take a Gene test so she can really help me by giving me holy medications that my system will break down instead of just Continuously just putting me on all kinds of different medications to see what happens. I would and do recommend her to all of my family and friends.

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.
