Getting to know Dominique Cautivo

Welcome, I'm Dom. I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner at Mallon Advisory & Counseling Services. I approach therapy with a holistic, trauma-informed lens—honoring each client as inherently worthy and capable of growth, clarity, and meaningful change. I view mental health symptoms as survival responses shaped by life experiences, relationships, and stress on the nervous system. I support clients in building awareness of their patterns and stress responses so they can move forward with greater clarity, autonomy, and self-trust.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach integrates mindfulness and meditation, parts work, somatic awareness, experiential arts, sound-based interventions, creative expression, and skills-based modalities such as CBT and DBT. I prioritize humility, collaboration, and cultural responsiveness in our work together. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. My clients are often navigating anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, chronic stress, neurodiversity, identity and spirituality, life transitions, communication challenges, addiction, behavioral or mood concerns, relationship strain, or a desire for deeper connection.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work begins with building safety and understanding what brings you to therapy. In early sessions, we explore your history, current stressors, relationships, and nervous system patterns to clarify meaningful goals. Sessions are collaborative, experiential, and conversational, while also integrating practical tools. I help clients increase awareness of their stress responses and emotional and behavioral patterns, and develop intentional steps toward change.
