“Garland was so attentive and reassuring. I’m excited to go back. I really think that the way he challenges my thought process and beliefs is so helpful and healing already. Garland integrated my faith into the conversation and respected my morals and beliefs. He tailored all of his advice perfectly to my needs.”

“Garland listens to me and remembers our conversations. We pick up where we left off from the previous session. He does need to sift through a file folder in order to remember me and my struggles. Garland keeps up with the fast pace of my family life. He genuinely knows the trajectory of my life over the last year and a half. His observations are honest and true. I feel safe sharing intimate parts of my life with Garland. He is a wonderful therapist. I’ll keep coming back.”

Getting to know Garland Nichols

Hello! My name is Garland Nichols, and I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Washington, DC, and North Carolina. My journey began as a Foster Care Social Worker, where I used case management skills to rehabilitate and reunify families. My passion and belief in rehabilitation eventually led me to pursue Clinical Social Work, where I now aim to empower my clients in each session.

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.

Garland was friendly, understanding, and made me comfortable enough to express myself without feeling judged.

Garland Nichols has created a space that allows for me to reflect, understand, and challenge myself for myself to better myself. He is very open-minded, I've never felt judged by him anything I've told him. The questions he ask and solutions he suggest has helped me tremendously.
