Nicole is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience working in a variety of addiction treatment settings, including managing the Utilization Review Department for a local recovery facility for many years. She holds a Masters Degree in Social Services from Bryn Mawr College and currently works as a therapist in a small practice outside of Philadelphia.

Through all of her behavioral health experience, Nicole is, first and foremost, a clinician, and understands that successful treatment outcomes are strongly correlated to the length of time spent in programming. Knowing this, Nicole advocates fiercely with insurance companies to ensure her clients receive the coverage and invaluable time they need to truly heal.

Pura Vida is grateful to have Nicole on the team, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the complexities and confusion of insurance will never be a barrier to care for our clients.
