About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I obtained my Master’s of Science Degree in Counseling from The University of Houston, Clear Lake in 2005, have been a Professional Licensed Counselor for 7 years and a Certified Texas School Counselor for 17 years. I am also a proud, female, Unites States Military veteran. My Master’s Program consisted of a combination School Counseling and Professional Counseling courses. I have worked with teens and young adults, ages 14 to 19, as well as their parents, families, and teachers. Some of the mental health concerns I have helped these individuals with include depression, anxiety, relationship skills, conflict resolution skills, academic concerns, behavior concerns, bullying, parenting skills, addiction, suicidal ideation, self harm, grief, PTSD, abuse, trauma, and ADHD. I have also worked with teenagers to help them in their transition from high school to post-secondary educational institutions, technical schools, military enlistment, and entry level occupations. I have vast knowledge and experience helping students with college and career exploration, collegiate testing (SAT/ACT/TSIA), the college application process, financial aid, scholarships, and military enlistment, to include preparing to take the ASVAB.

Teens tend to be very comfortable around me and find it is easy to share their struggles and concerns. I am a very caring, compassionate counselor and working with teens and their families, in an effort to help them create their best lives, is my passion. My approach depends upon the individual and their particular presenting concern. I have used Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to name a few. I encourage my clients to actively participate in their therapeutic plan by involving them in setting goals, then helping them attain the skills to achieve those goals.

I have personally experienced a number of the same struggles many of today’s teens face. I overcame, persevered, and have created a happy, successful life. Teens relate to me because I am genuine. I find great joy and pleasure teaching skills to teens and their families to help them overcome life obstacles. We all need each other to get through life. I would love to work with you and your teen to help resolve whatever problems you are facing and to help your child become a successful, independent, high achieving adult.

She is such a great therapist! She's gone above and beyond to validate feelings I've had of childhood traumas and been so supportive of me when I'm hard on myself. She's been so amazing and I want no other therapist but her. She makes it so easy to open up and really get to the heart of whatever fight I'm battling.

It's only been our first session with Tina so far, but I already love her. It's difficult for me to be comfortable with ppl and I Instantly felt comfortable with her and related to her on so many levels. Can't wait to see how much she helps us and have hope now.

Written on Feb 28, 2023 after therapy with Tina for 6 days on issues concerning relationship

I found Tina to be kind and empathetic. I sought her help for an issue I had not been able to share with anybody for nearly 20 years. She was non-judgmental and ever so eager to understand and work with me to find a solution. She helped me see my situation from a completely different viewpoint and gave me gentle encouragement and follow up until I was able to implement the course of action we agreed on. It worked beyond anything I could have imagined. I am so relieved and grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you so much, Tina!

I cannot recommend Tina Dominy enough. After only two sessions with her, I can already feel a huge change within myself. With Tina, you will always have a safe space where you could be your most vulnerable without ever feeling judged. Yes, she might give you homework here and there, but they're always fun little activities that will provide you with the tools and guidance you need to overcome whatever it is you might be going through. She is so fun, so genuine, so communicative, and so caring. I always feel so at ease talking with her, and I always enjoy listening to all her relatable, personal stories. It's as if she were my second mom!

She is amazing with teen girls and has been really good with my teen with ADHD.

Written on Aug 23, 2022 after therapy with Tina for 4 months on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, and grief

I cannot recommend Tina enough! She is an extremely heart warming, caring and understanding therapist and I am glad I have found her. What I especially like about her is, that she is very intuitive and not "robotic" or "mechanic" (simply suggesting things she learnt from a book), but asking deep questions that guide me to reflect on things myself and with her help. I have had many therapists and I muchly appreciate that, as well as being "down-to-earth" and very approachable. I feel I can trust her and that she listens to me properly in a non-judgemental way and gives me open advices, without pushing me into directions. She often checks on me, especially also when my dad passed and I went through / am going through grief. I also love the fact that she has animals, as I love animals myself. I can highly recommend Tina!!!

Down to Earth. Extremely friendly and just feels like you’re talking to a friend rather than a therapist. She makes you feel extremely comfortable. Tina is also incredibly smart and knows what she’s talking about.

Written on Apr 26, 2022 after therapy with Tina for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

I’ve only been a patient of Tina Dominy for a few weeks but I feel she’s a great therapist. I had a problem during the week days before my video session and I really liked that I was able to send her a message about what happened and how I felt the day the incident actually occurred. I’m also so grateful she responded to me within the hour and helped me through my problem. She has provided me with worksheets, reading material and groupinar’s that can help with my situation. She’s very caring, understanding, and actually listens to you. I’m so glad I was paired with such a great therapist, I know she’s guiding me down the right path to bettering my mental health.
