About me
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.

Reviews
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 Regain might be different.
Heather was fantastic in multiple ways. She always respected our views and opinions, and gave us plenty of helpful tools and insights to help our marriage. She often helped accommodate our busy schedule by opening up extra time-slots even though she wasn’t working. Even when my partner and I thought we were having an emergency, she came to us in a very calm constructive manner. Over-all, we can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done.
We really love Heather! She is amazing, very thoughtful and insightful and good at reading people.
She truly is a kind soul, listens and offers great advice that isn’t forced on me.
Heather was kind easy to talk to. She provided us with easily applicable tools to help pull us out of the struggles we were having and strengthen our relationship for the future.
Amazing therapist, teaches unique ways to manage emotions that was actually created by her. Would definitely recommend to someone if needed.
Heather listened to both sides, yet didn’t side with either of us. Instead offered rational solutions or options. Her experiences shows and she calls it like she sees it; which I truly appreciate. Thank you Heather!
I really appreciate the help and patience.
Heather is very respectful and comforting to talk to.
Really enjoy working with Heather. She has a caring attitude and provides tools for us.
We couldn't ask for anyone better and it feels like she's custom made for us!
I feel very comfortable sharing my thoughts with Heather,without a feeling of being judged. I will continue seeing her as long as I can. I highly recommend you give it just 1 session.
