Dominique Squire
My name is Dominique Squire, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. At A Ray of Light, PLLC, I provide trauma-informed, holistic mental health care for individuals seeking balance, clarity, and emotional stability. My work is grounded in evidence-based therapy while honoring the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. I believe healing is not about fixing what’s broken, it’s about creating safety, regulation, and understanding so growth can happen naturally. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in survival mode. My role is to offer a supportive, compassionate space where clients can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build sustainable coping skills.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for individuals of all backgrounds and ages to navigate personal growth.
My approach integrates traditional therapeutic methods with nervous-system-informed practices that support emotional regulation and self-awareness. All care is collaborative, client-centered, and respectful of each individual’s values and beliefs. I do not impose spiritual or personal viewpoints; instead, I support clients in finding what feels grounding and aligned for them. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the impact of trauma, therapy can be a place to regain stability and rediscover hope. You deserve care that feels safe, thoughtful, and authentic. Please be aware that insurance companies do not cover documentation and court support. To provide these service, I require a minimum of 60 days of sessions to gather relevant information. The fees is payable via private pay. Please note that all requests may not be fulfilled if not clinically necessary.

Ideal clients
I am best positioned to support individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in survival mode and are seeking a space to slow down, gain clarity, and build emotional stability. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges. I work well with individuals who are open to self-exploration and are ready to develop healthier coping strategies and patterns that support long-term well-being. My approach is especially helpful for those who value a collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed environment, where they can feel safe, supported, and not judged. I also work well with clients who appreciate a holistic perspective, including an understanding of how the nervous system impacts emotional and mental health, while still engaging in evidence-based therapy.
