Dr. Daniel Nicholas, Psy.D.
Clinical Director

Dr. Nicholas is a licensed Clinical Psychologist who is the clinical director of Professional Counseling Services. He has been practicing for 20 plus years. He is a member of the American Psychological Association and the National Register of Health and Service Providers in Psychology. He sees children, adolescents and adults.

Dr. Nicholas has written in the areas of cognitive behavioral psychology, providing patients with an easy to apply strategies they can use every day to help them feel better fast. These strategies are geared to help people to identify and shift out of repeating, automatic negative thoughts, that make them worry or feel bad. By learning to identify when the mind is generating ANTS (automatic negative thoughts), a patient can then learn to easily shift their attention back to the now, and be more productive, reducing the amount of time spent in repeating thoughts that do no help solve any problems. These protocols are individually customized to each patient and can be readily taught to both children and adults.
