A CoUnselor Who's Walked The Path
Hey, I’m Dom Foti. I’m a licensed mental health counselor and performance coach based in Stowe, Vermont. I’ve committed the past 20+ years to helping people gain the clarity required to perform under pressure—whether in sport, business, or life.
I’m a former professional golfer, and I still tee it up in amateur events from time to time. I’ve also led clinical teams in dynamic therapeutic settings and worked with executives navigating leadership challenges, interpersonal dynamics, and major transitions.
Today, I offer mental health counseling and performance coaching services to high performers—mostly athletes and business leaders—who want to sharpen their mental game, stay grounded under pressure, and show up consistently when it matters most.

How It works
Step 1: Start with a Session
We’ll begin with a one-on-one session—either virtual or in person—to get a sense of where you are, what’s getting in the way, and where you want to go. No pressure, no hard sell. Just a focused conversation to see if working together is the right fit.
Step 2: Build a Plan
If it makes sense to keep going, we’ll put together a plan based on your goals. This might include structured sessions, on-course coaching (for golfers), or ongoing check-ins tailored to your schedule and needs.
Step 3: Commit to the Process
Counseling and coaching aren’t about quick fixes. They both require consistent effort to sustain progress. We’ll focus on what matters most—building healthy mental and behavioral habits, sharpening your process, and helping you perform with clarity and confidence when it counts.
Why Invest in Performance Coaching?
Everyone gets stuck sometimes—feeling mentally cluttered, uncertain, or just off their game. For some, it’s self-doubt before a major life transition or big competition; for others, it’s the pressure of leadership or the frustration of feeling stuck. Whatever the situation, the experience is often the same: you know you’re capable of more, but something’s holding you back.
Performance coaching is about building awareness and the right tools to move through those moments with clarity and intention. It’s not therapy, but it’s meaningful work—focused on trust, commitment, and how you show up when it counts most.
I work with athletes and executives to help them reconnect with their core motivations, identify what's getting in the way, and take actionable steps toward their goals. Together, we quiet the noise, make clearer decisions under pressure, and build a mental framework that supports consistent, grounded performance—whether on the course, in the office, or in life.
The truth is, you don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from coaching. Most of the people I work with are already high achievers—they’re just looking to move with more purpose, and less friction.
Wherever you are on your journey, you don’t have to do it alone. Coaching creates a space to train your mind just like you would train your body—to become more focused, more resilient, and more aligned with who you truly want to be.
