Nicole Rubin
Director of Admissions
Her pivotal role as Admissions Director now allows her to work with families more directly. Nicole understands how difficult it is for families to go through this process, and being able to start the process of getting families the help they need is very personally rewarding to her. She has extensive knowledge working with clients in a residential setting directly, as well as working in treatment on the administrative side, which she’s found allows her to provide families with all the information they need. Being that first initial contact with families is extremely important, and Nicole strives to make it known how much we care for the well-being of every individual and their families.
