Dominique Altamari, LCSW

Compassionate and insightful mental healthcare

My approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience in providing care to those with anxiety, trauma, and related issues. I help clients to work through complicated feelings, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and feel empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

Areas of Expertise

  • Trauma and Abuse

  • Health Anxiety

  • Social Anxiety

  • Post-Partum Anxiety

  • People Pleasing

  • Relationships

  • Perfectionism

  • Self-Esteem

A strengths based approach

I firmly believe that anxiety is a normal adaptation to our overwhelming and always changing world. Therapy is a wonderful tool to grow your strengths to be better equipped to deal with hard stuff.

Convenient for Working People

I have current openings on weekday afternoons and evenings, and Sunday mornings. Sessions are offered at my office in East Aurora, NY or virtually anywhere in New York or Florida via my HIPAA compliant telehealth platform.
