Getting to know Darlene Nicks

Have you experienced trauma? Have you recently gone through relationship betrayal, divorce, infidelity, or homelessness? I practice a strength-based, holistic approach to therapy and use a variety of theories and techniques tailored to each individual's personality and needs. I believe that everyone possesses the natural ability to reach their most evolved and emotionally intelligent self, and it is my privilege to help others discover and develop their strengths and resources. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in the states of Alabama, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. My experience spans over 20 years working with individuals, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with addictions, work issues, domestic violence, housing insecurity, parenting challenges, infertility, aging and death, mood disorders, trauma, and chronic medical conditions. Together, we will begin to recover balance and a sense of clarity for those struggling to regulate their emotions and self-esteem, focusing on issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, attachment difficulties, and relationship and family concerns. I encourage you to take a step of faith in connecting with me to find support for yourself!

What should a new client know about working with you?

While working with me the focus will be on the clients inner strengths, empowerment, spiritual connection, human relationships, and the dignity and worth of a person. With therapeutic support clients can begin using mindfulness to grow through what they have been through. The therapeutic environment will be an empathic, holistic, and safe space where clients become empowered to work towards a better understanding of themselves, and building on the strengths they already possess.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Darlene brings great clinical insight and challenges me a good way to think outside the box and dig deeper when I’m just trying to be surface level. I’ve grown so much since meeting with her.
