Dominic Foti, LCMHC
"Dom is a compassionate voice of reason amidst a world of chaos. He has helped me tease apart countless limiting cognitive knots. Having worked with Dom for several years, I have lost count of the myriad of crises, catastrophes, and painful bouts of hopelessness that he has guided me through. Dom's confidence in my capabilities has given me the bravery to leave the coddling safety of my comfort zone, face what intimidates me most, and achieve. In short, he helps me get out of my own way. His trauma-informed and strength-based approach has allowed me to closely inspect my family system, own what is mine to own, and let go of what is not mine to carry.
Dom's clear understanding of his own values has offered me the opportunity to assess my own values, refine my moral compass, and make decisions. Perhaps most importantly, Dom has never been afraid to call me on my BS. I can trust he will hold me accountable to be my best self.
From the bottom of my heart thank you for the immeasurable support that has transformed my life. Who knows where I would have wound up without meeting you in 2015!"

"Sitting at the helm of an ever expanding business has its unique challenges. Not least of which is recruiting and retaining qualified help. I started seeing Dominic several years ago to help me personally to develop adding more tools and strategies to better lead a team of leaders. Dominic is able to grasp complex multi faceted dilemmas, and quickly offer up truly objective feedback. His ability to empathize, but more importantly, to come up with solution based actionable directives has allowed me to continue to grow and develop a prospering business.
I was so impressed by the work that Dominic and I were able to accomplish, that we've sent several of our top performing managers to him to help continue to develop there management skillsets. The positive feedback from them, and the results speak for themselves. Every employee who's worked with him has expressed how beneficial the time they spend with Dominic was, and I view the investment as having paid back many times over.
I would highly recommend anyone seeking to better their craft, profession, or self, to align with Dominic. The efforts made will pay off in spades."

"I started working with Dom when I was feeling completely defeated, both emotionally and physically. I did so not totally believing in the process, or that therapy could really help me, but I was out of ideas. Now I can wholeheartedly say that I wish I had started much earlier. I am learning so much about myself, how to cope with difficult circumstances, how to manage my anxiety both proactively and in the moment, and how to be the best version of myself. I couldn't be happier to be working with and learning from Dom. He is a dedicated and professional counselor."

"Dom greatly supported me in overcoming a few different obstacles I was challenged with at the time. I was having difficulty in my personal life with my relationships and wasn't able to focus or concentrate on the important things because of it. Dom made me feel at ease from the moment I started sessions with him. He allowed me a safe space to share everything that was on my mind, without judgement. He offered tons of great advice, but more importantly, he challenged me to overcome these obstacles through an actionable approach. His ability to actively listen and show compassion is a large part of how he was able to get me back to a better state of mind. Dom is a true professional who cares greatly about his clients' healing."

"I have known and worked with Dom since 2013, particularly as he worked as the Clinical Director of a residential treatment program. Dom is truly one of the finest people and professionals that I work with. What really makes Dom stand out is his unique combination of a remarkably calm and soothing demeanor, along with his intense desire to help the folks that he works with. I believe it is his unique interpersonal skills that help his clients know instantly that they can trust him and feel a sense of assuredness and relief that he will guide them through the therapeutic process.
I also consider Dom a friend and value him tremendously. I cannot recommend him highly enough. You will find him to be incredibly bright, articulate, and compassionate."
~Dr. Todd Corelli
"Dominic does amazing work as a therapist. Our son spent several months under Dom's leadership in VT, and it was the turning point in our family's health. Dom earned our son's trust, and helped him discover himself and why he feels and acts in certain ways. A year and a half later, our son still acknowledges the life-changing lessons he learned from Dom, and my wife and I are much better equipped to deal with difficult parenting situations."

"Dom is an insightful, compassionate, direct, and grounded therapist."

"Dom Foti was my son's therapist for several months at True North Wilderness Program in Waitsfield, VT. In the simplest terms, Dom was instrumental in helping my son stop the negative free-fall that he found himself in. Dom was an incredibly positive force in my son's life, combining a genuine interest and appreciation for his uniqueness with a firm insistence that he take responsibility for his actions. Dom helped my son begin to believe in himself again, and in so doing put him on a path to developing the maturity that he would need to successfully navigate an increasingly complex, often temptingly dangerous world. In addition, I learned a tremendous amount about myself from Dom, both as a Dad and as a person in my own right. I hope that no parents find themselves in a situation where their child needs a wilderness program or therapeutic school. If they do, however, there is no better person to help than Dom Foti."
