My name is Dominique Saint Amand, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been in the field for 11+ years working with from a collaborative approach, using Acceptance and Commitment therapy, skills from DBT, solution-focused and emotion focused therapy. I attended and graduated from Hofstra University. I went on to work in agency settings focused on Chemical Dependency, and criminal thinking. Fluent in Spanish language, and cultural competency as well.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, feeling like you’re carrying too much emotionally? Are you having a hard time managing relationships, or feeling misunderstood? I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, like in most successful relationships, we will work together to process the feelings, activate strengths, and incorporate skills to help you feel understood, and have understanding. I believe in focusing on the underlying cause and not solely on the presenting symptom, which allows me to work to get to the root of the issue displayed.
Whether you are looking for coping skills to manage your life better, to identify healthy communications within relationships, a need to identify negative behavior patterns within yourself or a relationship, or need a safe place and someone to talk to, it’s would be my pleasure to help!
In a first session with me we will get to one each other and begin developing the foundation for the therapeutic relationship.
