Dominic Gerald Villanueva

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) registered in the state of California. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology from California State University, Fullerton. I have been practicing for 7 years with experiences from both community mental health and private practice settings. I have expertise with diverse backgrounds and various ages, including children and adolescents, to couples, families, and adults. I have experience working with clients with their depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, stress management (i.e., career stress and burnout), relationship issues, self-esteem, substance use, parenting, and all other problems that affect an individual's mental and emotional health. I am knowledgeable in various therapeutic approaches that helps me utilize appropriate interventions that meets the client's needs and maximizes a client's strengths.

I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, identity confusion, career stress, self-esteem, burnout, and other problems that affect a person's mental and emotional health. In collaboration with the client, I work on their goals in therapy to foster personal growth and development that leads to improvement on different areas of their life.

Clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and develop strategies for navigating challenges in their lives. My goal is to maximize your time in therapy and to make sure that you have a sense of direction after each of our every session.
