Mental Health Expo

Overview

You don’t need another cliche presentation. You need authentic conversations that inspire healing, growth, and change.

I’m Dominique Thornton — a licensed mental health therapist and founder of Flow Therapy, featured on Yahoo, 93.9 WKYS, Majic 102.3, and Apartment Guide. I bring warmth, humor, and honesty to every panel, podcast, TV, or radio conversation I join — blending clinical expertise with cultural insight and real-life relatability.

I specialize in self-care, trauma recovery, burnout, boundaries, and holistic wellness, helping audiences understand their emotions and themselves — without the fluff.

✨ Book me when you want a therapist who makes healing feel real, not rehearsed.
