Dominique Haughton has been in the social services field since 2010. After identifying her purpose as a counselor, she returned to graduate school for Clinical Mental Health Counseling in the Spring of 2016 and completed courses in the Summer of 2018. Dominique is also the owner of The Chic Therapist, LLC where she offers personal styling/image consulting services. Dominique's overall goal of combining her career and business is to aid individuals in presenting the best version of themselves in every area of their lives. Because the brain is the central station of the body, if the mind is healed, the rest of the body is healed/healing. Dominique believes that when an individual's spiritual, emotional and mental are on one accord, once a great look is added to combine the physical with the other aspects, that individual is a force to be reckoned with!
