I believe having clarity about the WHY you do, say, and think the way you do begins with denying the narrative that you are too “booked and busy” to peel back those layers of your identity hidden from the world. These are the parts of us that both consciously and unconsciously influence our daily interactions, and keep us conditioned to believe we have to negotiate space rather than command it! Your joy, dreams, and purpose matter, so less pouring from an empty cup and more claiming the life you deserve! I'm Dr. Dominique, a Licensed Psychologist at The Black Girl Doctor, and if any of this resonates with you I'd love to connect!

Calling all South Asian Misfits who feel like they don't belong: Being yourself does not make you "less" of a South Asian; it makes you a more genuine one. If you have been ever labeled the "Black sheep" of your community or family, been told that you are "Too South Asian", or "Not South Asian enough", you belong right here! That's why I go by "The Bad Indian Therapist", because as someone who was raised Indian and Catholic, I've also been called these things too. I'm here to tell you that sometimes it's OK to be "bad", and even if we did everything right, we're still going to make mistakes. So, let's be "bad" together!

As a Carribean - American Black woman my background fuels my dedication to honor the multifaceted aspects of my client’s identities and I am attuned to the importance of topics and issues around culture, race, racism and oppression.
I believe it is a privilege to be present during the journey clients embark on to access a more authentic self. Therapy can be a space to do just that and everyone is deserving of that space. I believe in meeting you were you are and working collaboratively towards further insight and addressing your goals. The process of therapy can be daunting but with a supportive space, exploration, understanding of individual cultural context, I believe true healing can emerge.

I am dedicated to reaching black and other communities of color in an effort to normalize and decrease the stigma of therapy.
We are all given a blank sheet in the beginning. What we choose to put on this blank sheet determines our outcome. Through life we are shaped by our surroundings, interactions and family. But not all of us are given the tools to write our own stories. Nature created us, but nurture guides us. As a clinician, I work with my clients to help build their awareness of how their learned subconscious understandings of life have impacted how they engage, interact and understand others.

As an empathetic helping professional, I acknowledge the Black and Blue experience, literally and metaphorically speaking, and the experience of Black bodies subjected to oppressive conditions. There exists contextual and historical racial wounds and trauma experienced, with a contemporary focus on aggressive policing, oppression, and intersectionality holding multiple identities. While trained in traditional psychotherapy and clinical approaches, I do/can depart from traditional modalities to engage in anti-racism and anti-oppression frameworks to begin the authentic healing and personal liberation for people of color.

As a mindfulness rooted therapist/ LMSW, my passion lies in helping people become aware of their strengths and reclaim their power in a society that tells us we are small and unworthy. Talk Therapy is a powerful tool that can help bring awareness to repressed traumas, internalized negative beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors. I offer in person and teletherapy appointments where I will gently guide you through your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Life as a Black girl is nothing short of magical. However, life transitions, societal pressures, and oftentimes, the desire to "have it all together" can throw us off our square. Giving too much of our "magic" or disbursing it in the wrong places can leave us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within. In session, we work to uncover those belief systems and generational traumas that may keep you stuck in a loop. We address patterns of self-sabotage, setting boundaries, and overall coping to strengthen your sense of self and improve your relationships with others.
