Professional History
Hey there! My name is Dominic, I’m currently a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor here at Struthers. I primarily use Zoom/telehealth for our sessions because who doesn’t want to relax on their own couch and get to work on mental health over coffee? I certainly do! I find virtual appointments to be particularly helpful with allowing everyone to feel as comfortable as they can- who would’ve thought talk therapy and relaxing environments are such good combinations?! I really try to make therapy not be such a drag. Don’t get me wrong- sometimes therapy takes a bit of effort but with 2 minds here, we got this taken care of!
Of course, for those who would love nothing more than to escape their homes, we can discuss days to meet in person on a weekly to semi-weekly basis! There’re no limitations for what we work on or talk about! Just be sure to bring your A-game with puns- Want to know about HIPAA? Sorry, can’t tell you, it’s a secret.

Professional Objectives
“I firmly believe in developing a strong alliance with every client I meet. I often use open communication and empathy to build relationships with any client regardless of circumstances. I believe a therapist learns from a client in as many ways as a client learns from the therapist. Humor goes a long way in our sessions. My number one intervention is establishing a safe and comforting space to allow clients to connect and relax within the therapeutic relationship.”
