Getting to know Laura Nichols

I'm a board-certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois and practiced in clinical, workplace-embedded, and deployed settings while on Active Duty in the Air Force for 16 years during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I have recent experience treating first responder and veteran traumatic stress, general life stressors and transitions, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. I have worked in addictions and family maltreatment outpatient programs, as well as in community education and outreach. Prior to licensure, I served as a domestic violence victim advocate and sexual assault survivor advocate in the state of Illinois, and I have experience working with adults with developmental delays in a residential setting.

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.
