Olimpia Dominguez Gutierrez

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work (MSW). I have worked in the mental health field since 2013, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and with clients from diverse backgrounds and clinical needs.

My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, and interpersonal concerns. As a bilingual therapist, I also recognize the important role that culture, family, and personal experiences can play in how we understand ourselves and navigate life's challenges.

My approach to therapy is direct, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and practical. I want clients to feel comfortable speaking openly while also feeling appropriately challenged to better understand themselves and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed approaches to help clients explore how their thoughts, experiences, and relationship patterns influence their emotions and behaviors. My goal is to help clients turn insight into practical changes they can use outside of therapy.

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where we will begin getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions to better understand your current concerns, relevant experiences, and what you hope to gain from therapy.

You will also have an opportunity to ask questions and share what feels important to you. Together, we will begin identifying your goals and determining how therapy can best support your needs.
