My name is Roberto Dominguez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am committed to helping my clients develop a deeper understanding of their pressing issues, conflicts, and challenges to create a better quality of life.
My approach
My therapeutic approach in therapy is rooted predominantly in Solution Focus, however, I also incorporate Psychodynamic, CBT, and Strength Base approaches.
My focus
I treat Adult clients who are experiencing the following issues: depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, coping skills, stress, and life transitions. I work creatively and collaboratively with my clients and help them gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors to help improve their personal life outcomes.
My communication style
During therapy, my client and I embark on a journey of discovery. We uncover symptoms and process intense emotions. I help my clients to develop awareness of the root of their problems and help them identify the missing pieces of the puzzle that will help achieve optimum wellness.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because I've always had a passion for guiding people through difficult times. I'm a good listener and I know how powerful it can be when you have someone who is present and providing support during life's challenges. I enjoy learning something new every day, and I want others to experience growth during self-discovery through my guidance in therapy.
My goals for you
I begin by helping my client identify their motives, hopes, and desired outcomes. I work with my clients in creating a plan for change and throughout therapy sessions, I provide meaningful feedback and support while exercising goal-setting muscle. I encourage my clients to articulate their goals and to write them down to measure progress and to observe if symptoms are getting better.
My first session with you
My goal is to meet my clients where they're at in their emotional stage during their initial therapy session. I strive to provide a space where my clients can feel safe and heard. I collaboratively work with my clients to identify their goals in treatment and use my knowledge to help address the struggles that are creating mental discomfort.
