Dominic Foti, LCMHC

I’m a licensed mental health counselor based in Stowe, Vermont, where I work with individuals and couples who want to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My approach is grounded in integrity, honesty, and clear communication—helping clients build self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and balance.

​

My career began in wilderness therapy, where I guided and later provided clinical support in the outdoors. Those experiences continue to shape my work today, reminding me that growth often happens when we slow down, step outside our comfort zones, and reconnect—with ourselves, with others, and with what truly matters.

​

Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked in a range of therapeutic settings and served in clinical leadership roles, supporting people through stress, transition, and interpersonal challenges. My approach draws from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), with an emphasis on accountability, authenticity, and emotional awareness.

​

I completed my clinical training at the University of Vermont and have continued my professional development through programs at Harvard Medical School and other reputable institutions. I’ve also presented at conferences nationwide on topics related to wilderness therapy, interpersonal communication, and mental health.

​

I live in Stowe with my wife, Kat, and our two young sons. Kat is a doctor of physical therapy and owner of Stowe Physical Therapy & Pilates. We share a small clinic overlooking the Green Mountains and often collaborate to support both the mental and physical wellbeing of our clients.
