Nick Gowen

My approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that empowerment, inclusivity, and meaningful connection can heal people. I often explore the question: What do you want from life that you aren't getting? You might want the ability to find peace in a hectic world, or to look inward, think, and reflect. You might crave more meaning and purpose in your daily life, a desire to be in relation to others, or the courage to grow into your true self.

I work to “demystify” the process of counseling and help clients identify the strengths that they already possess. My clients and I laugh together as much as we cry.

Whatever brings you to counseling, I am honored to be part of the journey. If this is your first time in counseling—or if you've had negative experiences with mental health providers in the past—I aim to provide a comfortable and affirming therapeutic space.
