Irene Dominguez

Hello, I am Irene Dominguez, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Creating a space where you feel safe and not judged is important to me. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, 6 years as an LPCC.

I have worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds; however, the areas of practice that I specialize in are assisting those who are experiencing stress/life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, and those who are healing from trauma.

My focus is to assist you in finding answers that you may be seeking and to guide you toward accomplishing your therapy goals by using a Person-Centered/Solution Focused approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as Motivational Interviewing (MI) as appropriate.

Working towards creating an environment where you feel supported, heard, and understood is of high value to me. My goal is that after each session you leave knowing that your concerns are important and that because you had an opportunity to share openly, you have more direction on what to do/work on next.

I view goal setting as a collaborative approach. The goals that are established should meet the client's needs as well as be clear, attainable and realistic. Goals would also be flexible as life happens, and at times we might need to adjust the priority or timeline of a specific goal.

During our first session, I will introduce myself so that you have a clear understanding of my professional background and approach. We will review confidentiality and session expectations; I will answer any questions you may have as well as will begin learning about your reasons for seeking therapy. Before ending our session, we will review the therapy schedule and ensure that you leave an understanding of what to expect next.
