About Nichole E. Gulowsen, LCSW, CCS

I help trauma survivors move out of anxiety, overwhelm, and survival mode so they can feel grounded, connected, and in control of their lives. At Third Eye Counseling, Inc., I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space where individuals can explore their experiences, reclaim safety, and reconnect with themselves. Healing, I believe, isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about building trust in the present and moving forward with clarity and purpose.
