Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Wheat Ridge, CO

If you’re looking for a therapist who is down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely in your corner, I’d love to work with you. After 11 years in the mental health field, I’m excited to be back in private practice and to support you wherever you are in life. I work with both teens and adults, and our time together will always be shaped around you and what you need.

Hi there! My name is Dominique and I have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. My specialties range from anxiety, depression, trauma, psychosis, and substance use disorders.

Hi, do you struggle to relate to yourself and others? I am a trauma therapist specializing in loneliness, anxiety, and depression related to past trauma.

After working for years with folks who feel hopeless about their future happiness, I have come to realize that healing and wellness are usually more within our reach than we think. If you witnessed violence in the past, or feel misunderstood as a child and have a complicated relationship with your culture and family that prevents you from being who you are, we can find ease and wellness together.

It takes courage to challenge our traumas and become the person who relates in healthier ways. I am here to support you on that journey. Together, we will grieve what is lost and rebuild who you are.

Are you feeling stressed out, struggling with a life transition, not happy with your career, unfulfilled in your current relationship and/or contemplating divorce? Life can be challenging and sometimes we need help along the way.

With the proper support and guidance, counseling can help you cultivate your strengths, regain control, learn ways to overcome difficulties, enrich your life, and take positive steps toward a more fulfilling future. I can help you identify and break the negative patterns in your life and create more positive relationships and productive behavior change. Taking an active and empathic approach, I provide a comfortable space to explore, discuss, and feel heard and understood.

I work collaboratively with adults and couples utilizing a variety of pragmatic, therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs and personality. We will start out by defining your therapeutic goals for improvement as well as developing the roadmap to get you there. Whether you want to work on communication skills, getting unstuck, reducing stress/anxiety/anger, developing a more positive outlook or improved coping mechanisms, I use a strengths-based approach to empower you to move into a new chapter in your life.

We will work together via a HIPAA compliant video platform (Zoom), meeting from the comfort of YOUR own couch, so there is no need to stress about travel, traffic, or being recognized in a therapist's waiting room. For your convenience, I offer morning, afternoon, and evening appointments.

Schedule a session now so we can begin the process toward healing and happiness.

Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.

I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.

Everyone has a life story and every story is important. Are you feeling unsure, stuck, or lost in your life story? You don’t have to go through it alone. We can co-create achievable actions and goals leading to your happiness, hope, and healing. With over 20 years’ experience and training in multiple therapeutic approaches; progress can be rapid and lasting. Working with adults navigating disruptive thought patterns, confusing life circumstances, and past traumas.

I’m a licensed mental health therapist who works with adolescents & adults! I believe therapy should feel empowering, collaborative, and genuinely supportive.

My approach is warm, open-minded, & nonjudgmental. I want you to feel safe being your full self in session, and I aim to meet you where you are while helping you grow in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable!

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Purdue University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from IUPUI, with a focus on addiction and mental health. My professional background includes two years in an outpatient mental health setting and one year working in residential treatment for substance use disorders. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how complex mental health can be—and how important it is to treat the whole person, not just symptoms.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I enjoy helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and reconnect with their strengths. My style is collaborative and flexible, and I like to be creative in sessions when it’s helpful—whether that’s through reflective exercises, visual tools, or thinking outside the box to help things “click.”
