Dominique Marcus, MSW, LCSW, SAP
CEO/Lead Therapist
Dominique is a passionate advocate for destigmatized mental healthcare and an entrepreneur with nearly a decade of experience dedicated to creating authentic therapeutic spaces. Her career began in New York City, where she gained foundational expertise working across diverse and high-stakes settings, including NYC public schools, military installations, and inpatient treatment facilities.
In 2020, Dominique relocated to Georgia and founded Contemporary Healing Spaces (CHS). As CEO and Lead Therapist, she established CHS as a resource not only for direct mental health support but also for professional development and organizational consultation, reflecting her commitment to systemic change.
Dominique’s clinical expertise is focused on addressing the unique challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). She specializes in the intersection of identity and mental wellness, particularly in treating anxiety, depression, and everyday life stressors. Her work includes therapeutic models for managing chronic illness and specific cultural phenomena, such as Impostor Syndrome within BIPOC communities and Superwoman Syndrome in women. Dominique's overarching mission is to ensure every individual feels seen and heard, moving beyond limiting labels to achieve genuine self-empowerment and healing.
