Dominique Dubois LAC, SWC

I provide structured, compassionate support for individuals struggling with substance use. In sessions, we focus on understanding triggers, building healthier coping skills, and preventing relapse. I integrate evidence-based practices like DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches to guide clients through recovery, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful change in their lives, relationships, and daily functioning.

I support adults experiencing depression by exploring underlying patterns and helping them reconnect with purpose, motivation, and joy. In sessions, we use practical strategies, mindfulness, and experiential approaches to improve mood, increase energy, and build routines that support well-being. My goal is to help you regain a sense of meaning, feel more engaged in life, and develop sustainable coping skills.

I help clients understand what triggers their anxiety and develop tools to manage it effectively. In sessions, we work on coping strategies, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and practical skills to reduce worry and stress. My approach is collaborative, focusing on building confidence, resilience, and a sense of control over daily life so anxiety no longer limits what you can do or experience.

In DBT, I work with you to build practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing stress, and improving relationships. We focus on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication, helping you navigate daily challenges with confidence. DBT is collaborative and tailored to your needs, giving you tools to respond to life’s difficulties rather than react impulsively.

EMDR is used to help process and reduce the impact of traumatic or distressing memories. In sessions, I guide you through a structured approach using bilateral stimulation while you recall memories, helping your brain reprocess them safely. This often reduces emotional distress, increases a sense of safety, and promotes healing. EMDR is gentle, collaborative, and adapted to your pace and comfort.

ACT helps you clarify your values and take meaningful action even when faced with difficult thoughts or emotions. In sessions, I guide you to notice unhelpful patterns, develop psychological flexibility, and build habits aligned with your goals. Together, we focus on living a fulfilling life, connecting with what matters most, and cultivating resilience while accepting the realities you cannot change.
