Welcome. This is a space to stand in your power — messy, honest, and fully you.
Well Grounded means a lot of different things but overall it’s about having a regulated nervous system. It means, making sure your cup is full before you try to fill others. It’s realizing that putting yourself first doesn’t mean you can’t show up in your other relationships. Our goal is to help you find ways to reclaim your time, energy and power, so that you can be well & stay grounded. we want you to feel grounded in your shoes, socks and on this earth so that you can take up the space that surrounds you. You have to be grounded before you can blossom and you deserve to bloom.

My name is Dominique and I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor based in Chicago. I received my masters in clinical mental health counseling from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. I’m a no bullshit human and therapist - to have access to my energy, I ask for you to be real, direct, no fluff, no bullshit. I come as advertised - authentically anxious, sarcastic and energy driven. All I ask is that you feel comfortable enough to do the same.
Prior to my work in private practice, I worked in non-profit assisting those who needed a higher level of care (i.e. schizophrenia, borderline personality, bi-polar, etc). My role as their therapist was to help them develop the skills necessary to function effectively within the community along with medication management.
As a therapist, I strive to decolonize therapy. I’m notorious for keeping it real and calling out any BS that stands in between you and creating lasting change. I specialize in a unique approach to healing that I call nononsense therapy. It’s my mission to help you break free from rigid thought patterns, emotional blocks, and the traditional confines of conventional therapy by embracing creativity, humor, and unorthodox methods.
I believe that sometimes the best way to make real change in your life is to throw out the rulebook, laugh at the absurdities of life, and approach problems with fresh eyes. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships, or self-doubt, my approach helps you explore new perspectives, release tension, and gain insight in ways you never thought possible.

Hi, I’m Estefania—a bilingual therapist offering virtual therapy in English and Spanish for youth, adults, couples, and families. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or immigration-related stress, I create a space that’s warm, grounded, and real. Therapy with me is collaborative and culturally attuned—I’ll meet you where you are, but I won’t just nod and smile. We’ll work together to understand what’s getting in the way and build toward something better.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT and TF-CBT, but guided by genuine human connection. I believe healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens when we feel seen, heard, and safe enough to be honest with ourselves. As a Latina and immigrant, I also understand the weight of navigating multiple cultures, expectations, and identities. That perspective informs everything I do.
Clients often tell me they feel both supported and challenged in our work. I show up fully, and I invite you to do the same. Whether you’re seeking individual healing or looking to improve family or couple dynamics, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
If you’re ready to start exploring what’s possible, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
