Instructor: Dominique L. Sotelo, MA, LMFT
**About Me:** First I should start by letting folks know that I am called "Nick" by most people that I know, so don't be confused by the formal "Dominique" thing. I live in Salem, Oregon and have most of my life. I've traveled to Europe before, and hope to go again soon. At home I live with my lovely wife Angela and my two sons Jaebin and Conrad. I have too many interests to list, but suffice it to say anything that is mind stimulating is appealing to me. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Oregon. I've operated a private practice in Salem since 2006.

My primary reference in the counseling arena is Inter-subjectivity Theory, and I incorporate tenneants from Contextual Family Therapy, Third Wave CBT/DBT, and Motivational Interviewing.

I am currently employed by the Oregon Youth Authority where I operate as a Treatment Services Coordinator. I have been with this agency for 12 years, the bulk of which has been spent working directly with incarcerated youth offenders in the secure facility setting.

I am doctoral student at Oregon State University working towards a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision. My dissertation is focused on violence prevention interventions in the school setting.
