Certified First Responder Counselor, 2023

Nicole Hixenbaugh, NCC, CTT, LPC, CFRC 
Nicole is the owner of Solutions West, LLC and has a passion for working with adults who want to become who they want to become versus who they had to become. She has over a decade of experience assisting individuals develop a sense of self and stabilize symptoms that have become challenging. Clients she has worked with are interested in learning about what has been going on underneath the surface to better understand how the past is impacting the present through body awareness, emotional awareness/regulation, and processing the “unprocessed” event to “repair” the mental injury. She works with each client as their own person as everyone has their own unique experiences and needs through EMDR therapy and other counseling techniques/therapies. She is a Certified Trauma Therapist and Certified First Responder Counselor, as she has a special interest in serving the First Responder community.

Nicole is currently able to provide consultation hours for individuals working towards EMDR certification, in addition to supervision hours for LPC. Please contact info@solutionswest.org for details.
