MEET THE WOMAN BEHIND THE CART
Hi, I'm Dominique.
Therapist. Founder. Believer in lighter loads.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker, a wife, a mother, a creative, and a woman who loves a good shopping trip, a beautiful space, a little luxury, and a whole lot of peace.
I’ve made mistakes. I’ve questioned decisions. I’ve known better and still done something different. I’ve been confident, uncertain, frustrated, excited, and everything in between.
And I’ve learned that having things figured out in one area of life doesn’t mean you have everything figured out.
I’m human. Just like you.
But I’ve also spent years developing the clinical skills to help people navigate some of the very things that make life complicated.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME
WHAT'S THERAPYCART?
TherapyCart is a therapist-guided mental health and wellness brand that uses the familiar world of shopping to make emotional growth, self-discovery, and conversations about mental health more relatable, approachable, and maybe even a little fun.
THE BAGS
THE CART
THE AISLES
THE RECEIPTS
The emotions, experiences, expectations and patterns that we carry. Some are worth keeping. Others are worth leaving.
The support, tools and guidance the help lighten the load. You don't have to carry everything alone.
The different areas of life we explore, from relationships to boundaries to confidence to self discovery and everything in between.
Let's take a closer look at what our experiences have cost us-time, energy, peace and even parts of ourselves.
MEET THE WOMAN
NO ALTERATIONS NEEDED.
I've always had a strong personality, a mind of my own, and a pretty good sense of who I am.
But I've also learned that being confident in who you are doesn't mean everyone will be comfortable with it. I've been told I'm too opinionated, too outspoken, or simply too much. And for a while, I found myself making adjustments to accommodate other people's comfort.
Not anymore.
I've learned that I don't have to shrink, soften, or change who I am to make other people comfortable. I deserve to take up space, just as much as anyone else.
And that's something I want for you, too. Not to become someone else's version of who you should be, but to discover, embrace, and become more of who you already are.
THE WORK
READ THE FINE PRINT.
THE SHORT VERSION
LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER
My approach to therapy is direct, honest, compassionate, and occasionally sprinkled with humor. I'll listen, challenge you when needed, and help you explore perspectives you may not have considered.
I believe therapy should offer more than a place to talk. It's about gaining insight you can apply, tools you can actually use, and confidence that extends beyond our sessions.
Yes, credentials matter. Experience matters. So does connection. You deserve a therapist you trust, feel comfortable with, and don't have to filter yourself around. Because when you can show up as yourself, you're better able to lean into the process and do the work that brought you here.
