Getting to know Nichola Lydon
Hi there! Welcome to Hope, Strength, and Resiliency Counseling Services LLC. My name is Nichola Lydon. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist. I obtained my master’s degree from the University of Southern California, and my undergraduate degree in psychology from Montclair State University. I have been practicing for six years and have worked with a wide variety of clients. I honestly love what I do and enjoy seeing the successes my clients achieve. I am a straight and direct counselor—I do not sugarcoat difficult conversations. But no matter what, I will never place judgment. My office is a stigma-free and judgment-free place. I can help guide you to better well-being and increased resilience. I hope you are ready to work and rise to challenges. I am excited to be able to work with you on this journey!

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.
