Getting to know Dr. Lisa Nichols
DR. NICHOLS DOES NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPT INSURANCE. HOWEVER, SHE CAN ASSIST WITH FILLING OUT INSURANCE FORMS FOR REIMBURSEMENT.
Dr. Lisa Nichols is a helpful, calm, and composed psychologist. 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. She provides counseling on various issues and sees patients presenting with infertility trauma, physical abuse, panic attacks, mood swings, behavioral problems, and loneliness.
Deeply committed to the well-being of her patients, Dr. Nichols takes a thorough and precise approach to her consultations to ensure accurate diagnoses. She is dedicated to helping her patients enjoy healthier lifestyles and works with each one to discuss ways they can make better choices for their health.
An avid traveler, Dr. Nichols enjoys the challenges of exploring new countries and is fortunate to have visited more than 152 countries. 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.
