Best Psychologist in Providence

 


Meet Dr. Nicole Issa


I earned my doctoral degree from William James College (formerly Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology). I went on to receive additional training and experience at Worcester State Hospital/The University of Massachusetts Medical School and Connecticut College, as a psychology intern. I then joined a private practice in the greater Boston area as a post-doctoral fellow and then staff psychologist. After going into private practice on my own, I co-founded Azimuth Psychological in Boston and then Center for Dynamic and Behavioral Therapy in New York before founding PVD Psychological Associates in Rhode Island.
