His training has been in the field of Psychotherapy Counseling more specifically by implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and he has found a niche for an effective treatment model. His other areas of specialties include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Behavioral Modification modalities. Dominick treats disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, addictions, depression, and anxiety as well as many others. His practice began in 1983 as he worked toward credentialing to opening my own practice in 2003.

Dominick’s philosophy about treatment stems from life experiences that were formalized by educational and professional growth in the field of mental health. He believes it is the patient’s need to have control in their lives and that it is his role is to help individuals obtain it. It is the sense of control that decreases anxiety affecting many other aspects of their emotional or psychological existence. Dominick strongly believes that although control sometimes is given a negative spin if one thinks about it long enough when it is a total loss a personal problem often follows. The qualifying or governing factor is balance. Too much of anything could be dangerous to your health.

Dominick is a proud US Army Veteran and a Veterans Administration verified Veteran Owned Small Business. The philosophies he received from his training not only at Syracuse University but through his family, friends, the army and his colleagues have gifted him the opportunity to provide valuable services. From Dominick, “I remember graduating from basic training at Fort Dix New Jersey and my drill Sargent giving due respect to my mother who attended the ceremony. I think he realized that my mother had already drilled; I mean trained me, before he got to me. My life went forward from that point not without setbacks, pitfalls and poor choices on my part but it went forward and that was the key for me. All the antidotal sayings applied to me as I tried and continue to try to have an attitude of ‘don’t quit’.”
