Dominiqua Bernardin

Quan Bernardin, LCSW Child & Adolescent Therapist Clinical Background & Training: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through challenges related to anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, and identity development. My clinical approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based interventions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have experience integrating Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety and OCD, helping clients gradually confront fears and build confidence in managing distress. Seeing their breakthroughs—whether big or small—reminds me why this work is so meaningful.

Outside of therapy, I find joy in yoga, nature walks, and spending time with my chosen family. I’m also passionate about mindfulness practices, sound bowl meditation, and exploring new ways to integrate self-care into daily life.

Additionally, I incorporate body-based awareness techniques to support emotional regulation and resilience. I believe that every young person deserves a safe and supportive space to explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and build a strong sense of self. It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges, empowering them to heal, grow, and embrace their unique strengths.

Clients will discover more about their internal world through practical coping strategies and feel equipped to face life's challenges.
