Dominique Austin, LPC

Where it began

Licensed professional counselor Dominique Austin birthed Journey To Authenticity from her personal journey of healing. After experiencing sexual assault in 2013, she began navigating the process of reclaiming her body, accepting what she could not change, and learning what it meant to truly be her authentic self.

From experience to purpose

That experience eventually became a catalyst for purpose. Through her lived experience, 10+ years of professional expertise, and passion for holistic wellness, she began to create opportunities for others to explore healing and authenticity.

A multidimensional approach

Her therapeutic approach recognizes that wellness is multidimensional. Mental and emotional wellness can intersect with our relationships, environments, creativity, movement, and everyday lives.
