Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Nicholas!

Nicholas Crisp is an experienced social worker who has worked in a variety of roles and capacity. In his seven years of practice, he has worked with many populations, with his primary focus and passion being with dually and co-occurring disorders, while maintaining a caseload specialization in adolescent, youth, and family systems.

My approach

Other areas of specialization include cognitive behavioral therapy, gender/culturally informed care, and solution-focused and family systems application.

My focus

Key areas of focus include depression and anxiety-related disorders, specifically regarding self-harm and crisis, family systems, anger management, behavioral issues, and substance-related/mental health disorders.

My communication style

Working closely with various populations has enabled Nick to acquire an in-depth understanding of their needs and learn how to cooperate with them to deliver positive results. Interacting with various patients has enabled him to be able to offer the necessary professional help to people he has always longed for throughout his life. He understands that the provision of social work service goes beyond work but requires passion to help and make the world a better place for marginalized populations and others. Essentially, he believes in working with and for communities using his professionally acquired skills and abilities.

My journey to mental healthcare

Nicholas Crisp is an experienced social worker who has worked in a variety of roles and capacities. Having begun his career as a medical support assistant for the Indian Health Service, working at the Haskell Health Centre in Lawrence, Kansas, Crisp quickly developed a passion for counseling and working with people. This desire to help people saw Crisp apply to the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University for a Master of Social Work, which he studied with a concentration on the mental health of American Indian and Alaskan Natives. Currently, Mr. Crisp is seeking opportunities to work with American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and other populations that are often marginalized/ignored. Mr. Crisp received his Bachelor’s Degree in Indigenous American Indian Studies from Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas, before later pursuing his Master’s degree. Nicholas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, holding his Social Worker license through the State of Oklahoma and Nevada respectfully. He started his career as a Social Worker working with dually diagnosed adult populations.
