Dominique is a licensed professional counselor, speaker, & mental health advocate.
Dominique believes that the way we show up for ourselves and the people we love is deeply shaped by the stories, experiences, and survival strategies we've carried for years.
With a background in trauma-informed care and relational healing, she creates spaces where people can explore the narratives that have influenced their identity, relationships, and emotional well-being. Her work helps clients recognize how blind spots can shape their perspective, understand how triggers may serve as protective responses, and take ownership of their healing journey. Through this process, clients can move beyond being defined by what happened to them and create the freedom to live, love, and connect more authentically. Through honest conversations, Dominique empowers people to move beyond survival and build lives rooted in self-awareness, accountability, and wholeness.
The Therapist Behind The Honest Conversation
Dominique Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor, speaker, and founder of The Honest Conversation. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Clark Atlanta University and her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University, with specialized training rooted in trauma-informed care, relational wellness, and culturally responsive counseling.
Through her work in private practice settings, Dominique has provided therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples navigating a range of concerns including trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and challenges related to identity, self-worth, and emotional well-being.
In addition to her clinical work, Dominique is passionate about bringing mental health conversations beyond the therapy room through speaking engagements, workshops, and community experiences that encourage honest dialogue, challenge misconceptions, and help make emotional wellness more accessible.
As a therapist, Dominique believes meaningful change begins with understanding the experiences that shape us while developing the tools needed to create healthier ways of coping, connecting, and communicating. She views therapy as a collaborative process where clients are encouraged to explore their experiences with curiosity, develop greater self-awareness, and build confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.
Her integrative approach combines evidence-based practices with compassion, cultural awareness, and spirituality when desired. Dominique’s work is centered on helping individuals and couples gain insight, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills needed to create lasting change.
Beyond The Therapy Room
New York Roots, Jamaican Heart, Atlanta Chapter
Born and raised in New York as a first-generation Jamaican American, I carry a deep appreciation for culture, connection, and the stories that shape us. I believe our identities are woven through our experiences, traditions, relationships, and the communities that help us become who we are.
Forever a Student of Stories
I’m a visual learner, and reading allows me to create my own private cinema immersing myself in new worlds, perspectives, and experiences that deepen my empathy and understanding of others. A cozy moment with a good book on a rainy day? Absolutely YES!
Water & Nature Are My Nervous System Reset
Nature and water are some of the ways I return to myself. Whether I’m listening to the rhythm of the water, swimming, or hiking near a lake, these moments help me slow down, regulate, practice mindfulness, and reconnect with the beauty of simply being present.
Food, Family & Community Are My Love Languages
Sunday dinners have always been a cornerstone of my family’s story. This tradition began before I was born and continues today where we share food, laughter, stories, and celebrations. Sundays are my weekly reminder that we were never meant to do life alone.
Creative Soul
I love photography, art, fashion, and the art of capturing moments that speak louder than words. Through my lens, I’m able to notice the beauty in everyday experiences, preserve memories, and tell stories that might otherwise go unseen. Creativity keeps me connected to joy, curiosity, and authentic self-expression.
