Hi, my name is Heather Dominguez. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Alaska with over 20 years of experience working as a clinical therapist with various populations throughout the United States. I began my career in Alaska 8 years ago as a Parenting with Love and Limits Therapist. I worked to help put many families back together again. My most recent experience, the last 4 years, has been as an Itinerant Therapist in the North West Arctic. My experience includes but is not limited to: vocational counseling, crisis intervention, trauma, chemical dependency, grief and loss, family, and spiritual matters.
• Bachelor of Arts, Psychology, Blue Mountain College, Blue Mountain, Mississippi 1993.
• Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling, Southwestern, Fort Worth, Texas 1997.
• Certified in EMDR for those with trauma
• Proficient in Spanish
Due to the fact that I was born in North Mississippi and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, I like to say that I am a “little bit country and a little bit rock and roll.” I have lived in Alaska since 2013. I have worked 4 of those years in the Northwest Arctic and 4 years on the Kenai Peninsula. My years in the Northwest Arctic were often spent doing crisis counseling with first responders and family members of those tragically lost to unexpected tragedies. I have a great deal of respect for those who are brave enough to say that sometimes I need a little help. I am a woman of Faith but I do not impose my values on others. Often times Faith can be a source of healing for ourselves and our families.
It takes courage to come to a stranger and share some of your most shameful, often painful moments with. I will be honored to assist you and your family with achieving a balance in life that you are looking for.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Heather Dominguez . We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've only had a couple of sessions with Heather but already she has stimulated me to make some profound changes in my life. Heather is easy to talk to and makes every effort to be fully present, listening and relating to my experiences. So far so good!

Written on May 29, 2023 after therapy with Heather for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, parenting issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Heather has been really helpful helping me define what the issues I want to work on are; she checks in with me when she knows I have something stressful to deal with and holds me accountable for working towards the goals I have set. I thoroughly enjoy my sessions and feel like she truly cares about my successes as we navigate through my past trauma and my current challenges.

Therapy was more like talking with a good friend with experience in problem solving.
I would rate 11 stars out of 10.

Heather helped me by giving me the tools needed during a very unpredictable time in my life. I’ve gained perspective again and for the first time in a long time I feel like ME. I appreciate it all immensely.

Heather has been a great help! She’s very forward and will work with you to ensure you get what you need! I hate worksheets and I told her this and I haven’t done a single one I feel like my time with her is spent focusing directly on the issues instead of homework and the consistent “how are you feeling today” we haven’t gotten super deep into the issues since we have only had around 3 sessions but when we do go deeper mrs Dominguez has my full trust and confidence that we will make progress and go at a pace that is suitable for me! Thanks a bunch!!

I have appreciated Heathers quick understanding of my concerns, her empathy and her encouragement to move forward as well as her guidance on how to do that. I have found it easy to talk with her and to share my concerns without fear of condemnation or harsh judgement, knowing she will respond with the truth in a kind manner. The truth is easier to receive when shared with kindness and empathy than with harsh judgment and condemnation.

Heather has been teaching me to live my life and appreciate where I am now. The pain and the events that caused the pain are in the past. Forgiving the people involved releases me to move forward, create healthy boundaries and relationships.

I made a lot of healing and progress with Heather's help. At first, I came here to heal from a breakup, but more than that, she has helped me tremendously with my anxiety and insecurities. She truly listens and gives great tips and advice. I appreciate how she tries to understand my culture (I am from the Philippines) and gives relevant examples and doable exercises. I am now in a good place and more stable emotionally and mentally with her help. I feel that with the tips and exercises she has given, I am now more equipped to handle everyday life. I am truly grateful.
