Getting to know Dr. Lisa Nichols

She has always been passionate about pursuing a career in psychiatry and helping patients achieve maximum comfort and good health. She accomplished her goals by earning her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University, San Diego campus. Dr. Nichols runs her clinic in New York, NY.

Having this experience increases my empathy of working through new, difficult, and potentially uncomfortable scenarios in ones life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with the client on deciding which format they prefer from structured to free flowing. As long as we are moving forward towards their goals for success.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The client guides the session as we work on the immediate and long term goals. If they completed any homework (not mandatory) we will also discuss during the session. Clients will go through a series of emotions in therapy from crying to laughing they are all a part of the healing process.

Very flexible and understanding! Initially, she took her time to really get to know me but the started asking very key questions and also gives good exercises as "homework" if I want which is reassuring that I am on track, taking time to reflect, and making progress.
Gentle and fantastic.
Great psychiatrist. She listened to my issues and cleared up my worries in a professional manner where I did not feel any judgment.
