Cal Domingue

My goal is to help each client cope with his or her unique life challenges, and to thrive beyond any perceived limitations. My mindset is compassionate and avoids pathologizing. Instead I focus on feelings, options, honest reflection, perspectives, choices, and skill building. I work from a multicultural perspective, and try to help clients shed any social prejudices that may have become part of a negative self-image.

I have worked with couples, families, and individual adults, from children through adults, of many different races, ethnicities, and orientations. Within the adult bisexual community I have worked with both couples and individuals to address issues including intimacy (physical, emotional, sexual), sexuality & sexual identity, communication, and conflict. I have also worked with clients on parenting, cross-cultural concerns, gender, MTF & FTM transitions, leather, mid-life, body image, considering parenting, spirituality, HIV/AIDS, care-giving, and grief & loss.

My office is in San Francisco on 24th St, convenient to the Castro, Noe Valley, Glen Park, and Outer Mission; it is near several bus lines (48, 24, J, & 35) and a 10-minute walk from the 24th St. BART station. I provide services in English and French, and speak rudimentary Spanish. I have applied to various insurance panels, so please call to check if that is a consideration.

I have worked at UCSF/AIDS Health Project and SF/CMHS Center for Special Problems; currently I am on the teaching faculty at the California Pacific Medical Center. I have over 15 years experience working with individuals and couples, in various capacities. If you would like more information, or to get a clearer sense of who I am and how I work, please call for a free telephone interview.
