Dr. Nichols is a wonderful doctor. she is an excellent listener and great person that gets to know each person. With that said, she can create a program that is meets your individual needs. I have been to many doctors, but Dr. NiShow morechols makes you feel welcome and willing to help the whole person. I moved to Florida, and still accommodates me by Tela help. I don't know where I would be today if it weren't for Dr. Nichols. Sincerely, Rita Scheer
Dr. Nichols has changed my life. I went to her, and I was a broken bird. I now feel so much better!!! she gave me back my wings to fly. I could no feel as comfortable, relaxed and confident if it were not for her.

I've been seeing Sandra for over two years. After over 30 years in the military and a failed 30+ year marriage, I had/have some baggage. She has helped me immensely. 10/10 I definitely recommend.

Dr Nichols is professional, timely, easy to talk to, and personable. I feel very comfortable with talking to her and she is always giving me resources and ways to help me improve on my own
Dr Nichols is personable, easy to talk to, and full of resources
Takes into account both physical and emotional aspects of care. Follows up with contact threw patient portal.
A caring organization to do business with.
Great service in: scheduling appointments, contacting office staff for help, and ease of refilling medications!!! Love my Therapist! She is very caring, yet knows when to be firm and push me. Provides me with materials, homework, and information so that I can learn and see more than just her perspective. Also, takes notes and follows where we were from the previous session! That has not always happened in the past! So far so good. I have only been at this practice for several months!
Very thorough, straight forward and looks out for the patient and not prescribing medications for profit like a lot of therapist.
