I love meeting with Dominique! She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had. Not only is she a good listener, but she makes me feel heard and she’s always able to synthesize things I’m feeling. She helps me make connections that I didn’t think of before and they’re always groundbreaking. I highly recommend her. She really helped me navigate through deep wounds and I’m so excited to see how I’ll continue to heal. Thank you, Dominique!Verified client, age 18 to 24, via Grow Therapy

I have really enjoyed my time working with Dom! I can't tell you how many "a-ha!" moments have happened during sessions. One of the thing I like most is that she is really thoughtful in her approach: she has an action plan that allows you to focus on the items that matter most to you, she provides activities + resources so that you can continue to work on issues between sessions, and she reminds you of the progress you've made and helps you handle the natural ebbs that occur too. She's awesomeVerified client, age 25 to 34, via Grow Therapy
