Hello and welcome! I am Dominique Driessen Espana, LPC. I am excited to travel on this journey with you. I offer a non-judgemental approach, which I believe facilitates a trusting, nurturing relationship between the client and therapist. I have been a licensed therapist for 11 years and in that time, I have assisted clients in their healing journey. I have assisted clients who suffer from Addiction, Depression, and Anxiety. I have experience working with clients of various backgrounds including college students, inmates in prison and anyone looking to improve their functioning, mood and attitude towards others, life or themselves. This is a mutual collaboration in which the client steers and I assist them in providing them with tools to improve their situation and circumstances.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, I will gather information to get to know you better. In the first session, we will discuss your goals and how to achieve them.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy a lot but I am eclectic and use other theories depending on your situation, goals and the treatment plan we develop together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are my ability to relate to my clients and allow them the opportunity to be themselves. I want to create a safe space where the individual and I collaborate and build a relationship where the client feels safe discussing their most intimate thoughts and feelings.
