A note from Dominic

Hi, I’m Dominic—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10+ years of experience helping LGBTQ+ individuals and couples heal and grow. I specialize in sex/porn addiction, infidelity, betrayal trauma, and relationship issues. My style is warm, honest, and affirming. I use EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness to guide clients through healing and deeper self-understanding. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, working through trauma, or exploring your identity, I’ll meet you with compassion and clarity. You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to help.
