See what our patients are saying about Nicole Lucas

Nicole has been phenomenal since day one. I feel like she truly cares about me and she does her best to ensure I get the care that will give me the best benefits in my everyday life. Nicole is very comforting and I feel like she sees me as more than just another patient with psychiatric difficulties. She listens and she never turns away any suggestions. I am able to contact her at any time through the patient portal, and she answers me whenever she is able to. Whether it be a Sunday evening, or 10pm on a Tuesday night. I am very grateful for her and the rest of the team at LifeStance. I became a patient when I moved to Summerville back in 2023. I have been seeing Nicole since then. It is always a pleasure to see her, and I am never doubtful that she can help me if I am struggling with something. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs stabilization, and a compassionate, listening ear.

I’ve been seeing Nicole for almost a year, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. She has helped me tremendously and I feel like a completely different person from when I first started seeing her. Nicole genuinely listens, takes my concerns seriously, and makes me feel comfortable and understood at every appointment. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. I never feel rushed or judged, and I always feel involved in decisions about my care. Finding the right provider can be difficult, especially when it comes to mental health, and I feel extremely lucky to have found Nicole. She has made such a positive difference in my life, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a provider who truly cares about her patients.

Dr. Lucas is truly wonderful as both a practitioner and a human being. I’ve been seeing her for about 2-3 years now & appreciate both her approach & her genuine willingness to see me as a person rather than just a name on a list. I am a fairly spiritual person with an unconventional POV & she has always made me feel extremely comfortable and welcome in her space- something very hard to come by in the Psych world! I’ve seen several Psychiatrists over the years & she is the best by far. Thank you Dr. Lucas for all you do!

Nicole is quite simply an angel. She has literally saved our family. She is extremely knowledgeable and empathetic. You will never feel like a “number” she cares deeply. She does her research and she genuinely wants what’s best for her patients. I am so grateful to be able to be seen by her and my children, she is a Godsend.

Nicole and I have been working together for a little over a year and hands down is the best at what she does.. She makes my experience less stressful and treats me like a human with genuine concerns and not just another patient. Thank you Nicole Lucas for being great and I look forward to many more years together.
