About Dominique “Nikki” Salinas

Life at the Cross Roads

Your life looks great on paper and you’ve done everything you were supposed to do to succeed in life. You went to college. Then you found the job you were meant for. Every day you wake up to hustle and grind. And you’ve made time for your family and friends. But in the silent hours of the night you ask yourself, “Why aren’t I happy? What more does it take?”

I know what it’s like to live that driven life, and the sinking feeling that there’s something missing. That all the puzzle pieces are there, but that you need something more. And when that something is missing, it affects everything else. Some days you’re plagued by a nagging anxiety, and other days you just feel exhausted. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I want you to have the life you fought for, and the fulfillment you’ve always wanted. Your hopes and dreams are possible.

Why You Will Want To Work With Me

How often have you been at lunch with friends or family, to find their faces buried in their phones? Or been in a conversation only to feel as though the other person was just waiting for their turn to speak? In counseling with me, I am fully focused on you and helping you understand your experience. The power of being truly listened to is truly profound.

I follow the philosophy of Alfred Adler, who emphasized the importance of establishing meaningful goals and taking steps towards positive directions in life. When you work with me, we’ll spend time exploring your approach to life and how it has (and in some cases, hasn’t) gotten you what you want. We will also explore new ways of accomplishing your goals and working with your feelings, so that you have a sense of control over your internal life.

My education

I have a master’s degree in counseling and Development from Texas Woman’s University (2017) and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have had 4 years working with an array of clients at a Domestic Violence shelter, family counseling center, and Crisis support. Through these experiences I truly have been able to help clients identify their own needs and help them through fostering a sense of emotional support during very trying life events. I have helped clients of all ages overcome an array of concerns such as transitional life events, anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, suicidal thoughts, and grief. In these experiences I have had the honor to be a part of people’s lives in vulnerable times to help them grow and not only overcome life events or challenges but helping them foster a sense of resilience.
