Getting to know Tina Nickels
Hello, I'm Tina Nickels M.S., LPC. I earned my Master's Degree at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Az. in 2005. I say that not to brag, just to let you know I can be trusted to work with you on your challenges. Some people may think they are in really bad shape if they need a therapist. Some may not believe it works. Sometimes when people find out I am a counselor, they withdraw because of fear I will read their minds or try to "fix" them. It doesn't work like that. Whatever your opinions about counseling, you can still benefit from it. My counseling style is warm and compassionate. In my experience, people just need to be heard, sometimes. I can cope with situations ranging from full -on crisis mode to needing a brief emotional/mental "tune-up" and many issues in between. I have extensive experience working with people with mental illness. Please don't let that word illness trip you up. If you have diabetes you go to someone who can treat that condition. And nobody judges! It should be the same for working on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sometimes our thoughts, feelings and behaviors cause us pain. Sometimes people come to me in great pain and I am able to lessen it. Sometimes people just know that their life isn't the way they want it to be- but they don't know what to do about it. They just know it is time for a change. An outside, objective observation and some new tools can result in meaningful growth and change. Almost every human can benefit from a little help now and then. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, the best therapists are the one who regularly sees their own therapist.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
