Terra Dominguez

Many of the people I work with are used to holding a lot together on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. You might find yourself overthinking decisions, replaying conversations, or putting pressure on yourself to get things “right,” even when it’s exhausting. I work best with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply and are open to looking at the patterns behind what they’re feeling- not just managing symptoms, but making meaningful, lasting shifts.

I take a structured but flexible approach, where we’re actively working toward helping you feel and function differently, not just talking things through. I’ll help you slow down and notice what’s happening in real time, especially in moments where you feel triggered, overwhelmed, or self-critical. From there, we work on building new ways of responding, whether that’s setting boundaries, tolerating uncertainty, or relating to yourself with less pressure and criticism. I integrate practical tools with deeper work so that what we talk about in session actually translates into your day-to-day life.

The first session is a mix of getting to know you and starting to make sense of what’s been going on. I’ll ask thoughtful, targeted questions to understand not just what’s happening, but how it tends to play out for you across situations. We’ll also begin identifying a direction for our work- what you want to feel different, what’s getting in the way, and where we can start. Most clients leave with a clearer sense of how therapy will help and what the next steps look like.
