Ashley Dominguez, MSW
Bilingual Counselor
Ashley Dominguez is passionate about providing accessible services and resources to the community. As a Bilingual Counselor at OMNI, Ashley draws on her education and specialized training to support clients, including school-aged children. She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Social Work, with a specialization in Mental Health, from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). She also completed UIC’s Integrated Behavioral Track with an Early Childhood focus, gaining specialized training in interventions for young clients.
Ashley was drawn to OMNI by its commitment to community support and continues to be inspired by the organization's involvement and impact. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, exploring different cultures, cooking, creating art, hiking, biking, and playing video games. A few fun facts about Ashley: she is double-jointed in all her fingers, enjoys writing fictional stories and hopes to publish one someday, and once caught a fish weighing about three pounds!
