“I feel very lucky to have found Nina. She is attentive and knowledgeable, and she knows the right questions to ask. Our sessions, though early, have been natural in conversation and I'm looking forward to the growth ahead. Nina takes the time to understand what my needs are and why I'm there, and overall is a great resource.”

Getting to know Nina Dismukes
*Note that prior to the first session with the provider, LifeStance will require a credit card on file.
*LifeStance providers do not accept Medicare or Medicaid insurance. If booking with these, you will be unable to be seen.
Nina Dismukes has experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with attention issues, learning disabilities, substance use, self-esteem, expressing emotions, trauma, coping skills, and more. Nina believes that effective therapy is a soulful healing process that takes time, patience, loyalty, self-love, and openness to communicate. She feels it is important to empower patients by allowing them to express themselves in a way that makes them feel comfortable and safe. Nina works collaboratively with clients, encourages them to be themselves, and motivates them to help ensure their personal goals are met and that treatment is successful.
Nina received her Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marquette University, with a specialization in working with children and adolescents. During her time at Marquette, she was the Diversity Leader for her class and felt strongly about diversity and inclusion in mental health, especially involving people of color and the stigma surrounding those factors.
Nina has experience with DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), Narrative Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and more. Although she has used different approaches, Nina does not believe one therapy works for every individual or diagnosis. She strongly believes therapy is an art, and there is beauty in all therapeutic approaches-each can be useful and beneficial depending on the individual.

My initial appointment was great. She listened to everything I had to say and asked questions to help me convey what I felt.

Nina is very professional and an attentive listener
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Seemed unprofessional honestly. She was laying on the couch walking around during the meeting, joined late and ended the meeting in less than 30 minutes. Was sympathetic and nice but mannerisms were a little odd, like I wasn’t being taken seriously.

Came across Nina on Zocdoc with many great reviews. I can see why! She is an active listener and effective communicator. Overall, a great experience.

Nina is a very attentive active listener. She’s open to questions, suggestions, requests, and to work towards personally set goals.
LifeStance was very thorough in contacting me beforehand. Some features only work on a lap/desktop computer and I received some redundant communications.

this was my first session and I felt very comfortable. Nina was a great listener and I'm feeling confident about our upcoming sessions.
February 22, 2023Initials hiddenVideo visit
I have had several sessions with Nina now and am so appreciative of her approach to therapy. I feel really listened to; Nina is already making connections and circling back to things from previous sessions in a specific and thoughtful way. She asks probing questions and is very easy to talk to. I look forward to building a deeper relationship and seeing what kinds of things I am able to tackle with her help.
January 19, 2023Rachel C.Verified patientVideo visit
Today was only my first visit with Nina and I really loved the experience. She was very welcoming and kind. She listens so that she could get to know you and to also have a clear thought on what to speak about in your next meeting. I would recommend her just based off her being so welcoming and making me feel comfortable and for actually listening and letting me express myself patiently.
December 1, 2022Tajiah H.Verified patientVideo visit
I appreciated my first visit with Nina but only found out too late that she is not in network with my insurance company, even though Zoc Doc indicates that she is. That was disappointing, but she seems like a great therapist.
November 10, 2022Timothy B.Verified patientVideo visit
My sessions with Nina are great! I feel like I can open up and talk about anything with her. She gives good feedback and she's a good listener. I don't feel like she's judging me as I've experienced with other therapists. She also has the patient take the lead at the beginning of the session so they have complete control of the conversation. she's patient and very understanding. Overall a wonderful experience!
More than 1 year agoChelesea R.Verified patientVideo visit
She was a great listener, very understanding and very welcoming. I am excited to see my future progress with the help of Nina Dismukes.

I’m so excited for my next appointment?
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
The first couple sessions were great, and I think Nina would be a fantastic therapist for someone who wants cbt style help with motivation and general depression. She is very welcoming and offers diversity and social justice recourses, which I love. I don't think this style is as helpful for neurodivergent people or those who are frustrated by cbt. I found myself repeating myself a lot without much input and did not feel very heard or understood.
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Nina was amazing. Very sweet. Great listener. She was prompt and ready. I was definitely nervous because it was my first session, but she was so welcoming I opened up like a book. The session didn’t even feel virtual. She’s great! I found my therapist in Nina. ??????
More than 1 year agoKhadijat D.Verified patientVideo visit
Easy process. Office will email you to collect general patient info (medical history, etc.), install the program for televisits, then good to go. Never been to therapy so I was a bit anxious beforehand. Great experience! Felt heard and seen, not judged at all, and left with achievable action items/goals that I can focus on until the next appointment, plus I felt happy and relieved afterwards. Excited for the next visit ??

Nina was great! It was my first therapy experience & she made we feel comfortable right away with being open & and really seemed committed to taking this new journey with me. Looking forward to our future sessions!
