About

Clinical experience provides a different perspective.

I am Nicole E. McCarthy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with approximately 28 years of professional experience. I have worked inside the systems attorneys ask me to evaluate, which allows me to review records, treatment decisions, standards of care, policies, documentation, and professional conduct from the perspective of someone who has actually done this work.
