More to Know
Nicole Halley is local to the area and passionate about expanding access to high-quality mental health care in the LC valley. Having grown up here, she understands the unique challenges the community faces in accessing mental health services and is committed to making a difference. Nicole believes in taking a holistic, person-centered approach to care, which considers each patient’s unique life history and how it has shaped their individual values, beliefs, and goals. She knows that recovery, as a state of mental well-being, is different for everyone, so her ultimate goal as a provider is to collaborate with patients to define and achieve it in their own unique way.
Outside of work, Nicole enjoys spending time with her small but active three-person family and their dog, Oscar. They love being outdoors, whether it’s exploring the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area in the summer or skiing at Schweitzer Mountain Resort in the winter. Nicole is also a lifelong learner and self-proclaimed nerd, with a passion for reading (all genres), solving puzzles, and finding new ways to challenge her mind.
