Blind Allied Therapists in Tyler, TX

My name is Shanna Dominguez and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. You may be experiencing worry, fear, anxiety, depression, or a variety of other emotions. Good news, those emotions can be managed, I believe there are two experts in the room: You are the expert of your life and I am the clinical expert. I have had the privilege of working with adults, couples, and adolescents. I use a variety of techniques and theories to guide my work with you depending on what fits your needs. I specialize in CBT and DBT methods. As humans, we not only want to feel understood, but we want to understand ourselves & why we do the things we do.

I enjoy working with children and families in order to strengthen the bonds in their relationships. My work as a counselor, centers around helping people achieve a happy, fulfilled, and functioning life.

You are tired of telling people you are "fine, okay, good" when you really aren't. Maybe you can't find the words to describe what you are feeling or maybe you don't think anyone will understand.

Are you ready to stop putting the needs of everyone else above your own and move to the front of the line? Let me join you in your journey toward self-compassion, self-acceptance, and most importantly, self-love. It's time to focus on you!

Becoming a parent often brings up a wide range of emotions. Sometimes it is the long awaited reward after struggling with infertility, or bearing the grief of miscarriage and loss. Sometimes it is the excitement of adding to a growing family. Sometimes it is the fear of reliving physical, emotional, or mental pain and hardship. Sometimes it is grappling with the societal and cultural expectations of parenting. The experiences that arise for parents during conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting deserve a space for specialized care and attention. This specialized care is what I offer in support of your goals.

My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the belief that every individual is unique and cannot be defined by a single diagnosis. Together, we will embark on a journey toward holistic wellness, focusing on you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. As we collaborate on your treatment, we'll craft personalized goals aimed at helping you connect with your authentic self. Life's transitions, whether exhilarating, intimidating, or overwhelming, are moments for growth, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Everyone enters and exits this precious world in the same way; however, our journeys are very different! Life happens at all the wrong and right times, yes? Relationships, finances, illnesses, parenting, education, careers, aging parents . . . we have so much going on and often what we NEED is a safe space to sort out priorities, find balance, and process our past and present. If your goal is to enhance or restore your functioning, therapy is a great tool!

Through an integrative and holistic approach, my style is to guide you in navigating the roads of life challenges, mood concerns, medical conditions, relationships, severe mental illness, and other life issues.
