Our Services

Mind-Body Medicine and Biofeedback

Dr. Dompé utilizes mindfulness training, biofeedback, acceptance-based counseling, and education to teach patients to cultivate self-awareness to more fully experience the wholeness of who they are with more self-compassion, tolerance to cognitive (thoughts), affective (emotions), and physical (somatic/body) distress, and an increased capacity to self-regulate their neurobiological response to stress. He is a board certified biofeedback practitioner, and utilizes general biofeedback which includes respiration biofeedback, electromyograph (EMG), electrodermograph (EDG), thermal, and heart rate variability (HRV). He teaches patients mindful techniques including therapeutic breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, autogenics, meditation, and guided visualization.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is an ancient healing art that enhances health and well being and offers many therapeutic benefits. Massage is an excellent way to decrease stress and muscle tension, relax your body and mind and improve range of motion and flexibility. Therapeutic massage also decreases pain, improves circulation and lymph flow and stimulates the nervous and immune systems.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. This process stimulates movement of energy within the body, allowing natural healing to take place. These points are selected based on years of training acupuncturists receive based on over 3,000 years of experience in China.

Acupuncture helps to prevent illness by improving the overall functioning of the body's immune and organ systems. Acupuncture is helpful for:

* Treating existing illnesses and injuries.
* Preventing both recurrence of illnesses and new illness.
* Improving overall health.

Acupuncture originated in China over 3,000 years ago. It is part of the holistic system of healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM").

What to Expect

Appointment with Dr. Dompé:

Initial Visit

The initial visit for adults is 60-75 minutes in duration and includes orientation, intake, and assessment to help determine the course of care and training.

For pediatric patients, the initial visit is approximately 60 minutes or less in duration. Dr. Dompe meets with the parent(s) or guardian(s) during the initial visit without the patient present.

Follow up Visits

Follow-up sessions are 50 minutes in duration, occur weekly (x 8-12 weeks but can vary), and may include the use of biofeedback to cultivate awareness and learn functional respiration, or may focus on counseling. Subsequent visits are 50 minutes in duration and include a review of practices and progress, continued training reinforcing concepts and practices learned, the introduction of new ones, or the visit may focus on counseling. One of my goals is that each patient leaves with a tool bag of skills (inner resourcing) that does not depend on me or biofeedback equipment. Once a patient is competent and goals are met, I recommend follow-up visits every 2-4 weeks to ensure skills and progress are maintained.

Insurance Coverage

Please contact your insurance company to verify coverage.

Although office visits are typically covered by most insurance plans, some mind-body medicine intervention services, including but not limited to biofeedback therapy and neuromuscular re-education, are considered by insurance companies to be medically unnecessary and therefore are not covered by insurance.

Dr. Dompé is contracted with the following insurance companies:

Regence, Premera, Lifewise, and First Choice.

Dr. Dompé offers a reduced time of service fee for those paying out of pocket and a sliding scale for those who qualify.
