Hi I'm Dominic
Give yourself permission to be vulnerable, to be “imperfect,” and finally the courage to be…human again. That means unpacking and briefly sitting with your negative and highly-critical self-talk, and then finding solutions to shameful feelings like being "less-than” and "undeserving" of worldly things like promotions, or more foundational experiences like love or fulfilling, healthy sex. Identify as a gay man? I've not only got first hand familiarity with the gay-man experience, but with a combination of CBT, SFT, and DBT I have in-depth strategies and tangible tools to stop fear, sensitivity, and SHAME. The above challenges are at the core of our innocent, yet wounded inner-child. In adulthood this looks like: porn addictions, sexual compulsivity, infidelity, substance abuse, irritability, depression, failed relationships, codependency.... Here, you're not just included, you're celebrated. Life is too short not to feel good about who you are. I am ready when you are.
“Dominic has been an essential support in my journey to recovery. His understanding and non-judgmental approach have made a significant impact on my self-esteem. I've been able to replace negative coping patterns to live a healthier life.”
