I am Angie Dominguez, a dedicated bilingual Registered Mental Health Intern, Certified Trauma Professional, and Certified Grief-Informed Professional. With a Master’s degree in Counseling in Mental Health & Addictions from Johnson and Wales University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my practice. I am committed to helping individuals overcome life’s challenges by combining trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment for clients navigating unresolved trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions.
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, including outpatient therapy and educational institutions, where I have provided tailored care to children, families, and adults. My expertise includes evidence-based approaches such as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I empower my clients to build resilience, enhance emotional well-being, and foster healthier relationships. My collaborative and empathetic style helps clients explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and move toward self-awareness and empowerment.
​
Inspired by my own personal experiences, I became a counselor to provide the support I lacked during my childhood. This passion drives me to address addiction and trauma, particularly in underserved populations. My multidimensional approach allows me to meet clients where they are, guiding them toward personal growth, healing, and a more fulfilling life. If you’re ready to take the first step toward emotional balance and empowerment, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey.

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida and first completed my Bachelor of Arts in Tampa, Florida at the University of South Florida majoring in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, with a concentration in Psychology and Sociology. Then I obtained a dual Master of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling Psychology from Webster Vienna Private University in Vienna, Austria, and Webster University in Missouri. My training abroad allowed me to practice holistic counseling in diverse settings such as international social hubs, LGBTQIA+ cultural centers, and a university counseling center. I worked with clientele from different cultural backgrounds and age groups, where I utilized a variety of therapeutic approaches including individual counseling, group counseling, expressive arts interventions (music, art, dance, poetry), and guided meditations.
​
My therapeutic approach focuses on client-centered, humanistic philosophies that aim to explore and treat the individual as a whole: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. My approach is grounded in a stance of empathy, acceptance, and respect for self-discovery and self-determination for all clients. Through techniques taken from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt therapy, I help clients become aware of and identify feelings, emotions, conflicts, and behaviors of the here-and-now.
​
Through open and honest communication, my goal is to create a therapeutic space that is both a collaboration and a healing mechanism for clients who may be experiencing: depression, anxiety, relationship stress, substance abuse, or existential issues. Overall, I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most valuable part in the process of therapy. In therapy with me, both client and therapist have the potential to transform the space into their own unique canvas.

I am originally from Miami, Florida. I obtained my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from NOVA Southeastern University, where I specialized in long-term mental illness, and got my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida State University. I have had the privilege of treating clientele from diverse backgrounds in both English and Spanish, and have experience working in a variety of settings such as inpatient programs, crisis units, community mental health centers, and outpatient clinics. While my theoretical orientation is eclectic, I lean toward Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rogerian (or Person-Centered) approaches.
I am proficient in treating several mental health issues, including:
-
schizophrenia other related psychotic disorders,
-
bipolar disorder and other related mood disorders,
-
substance abuse including dual-diagnosis,
-
gender dysphoria.
I help clients identify their problematic thinking patterns, develop coping mechanisms, process trauma, and understand how past experiences affect their current level of functioning. I value the transformative nature of strong therapeutic relationships, and am proficient in providing therapy for individuals and groups. My goal is to apply my compassion and expertise to the therapeutic process, while helping my clients improve their lives, ultimately attaining a sense of peace and fulfillment.
​
In therapy, I am empathetic, nonjudgmental, and personable; I create a safe space in which clients can begin the process of healing. When needed, I know how to gently guide people through the exploration of their vulnerabilities, losses, grief, and trauma. The philosophy behind my therapeutic approach is best captured in Ernest Hemingway’s famous words: “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.”
