Having Dr. Nickson as a therapist is like meeting up with that one friend you haven’t seen in forever. You talk, you laugh, maybe even cry, but at the end of the day it’s someone you know you can ultimately rely on to steer you in the right direction. He doesn’t let his own opinions bias your problems, but rather he expands your field of vision to allow you to see your problems from another POV so that you can come together as a team to solve them.

Dr. Nickson, is a wonderful human who listens and pays attention to detail when listening to his clients. He make sure you won't put excuses and helps you identify the issue you are facing. Whether it's several or getting the focus on the one topic. His patience and understanding is something to admire especially when coming into therapy for the first time and trying to also figure out how to share and confront certain obstacles. This has been my first time having therapy and having a therapist and to be honest I'm glad I got someone like the doc. Thank you Dr. Nickson.
