Dr. Nicole Dodd believes that healing is a personal process that involves strengthening the body, mind and spirit.

She empowers clients to learn and grow in ways that activate their potential and help them heal and grow.

Some people have different strengths and comfort zones, so Nicole uses an eclectic approach to unlock the strengths and capabilities of her clients. Sometimes the best healing happens on a walk or interacting with an animal.

Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)

Individuals (Adults)

Although it’s often a specific situation or symptom which causes us to seek help, therapy has the potential not only to relieve pain, but also to promote growth. Building resilience, deepening your understanding of yourself, and developing a sense of meaning and purpose in your life – these are all realistic and worthwhile goals with which counselling can help.

In my practice, I work with a wide range of adults on a diverse range of issues. As a recent graduate, however, I am especially focused on developing expertise in the treatment of anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder – for both of which I am pursuing specialized training.

If you’re interested in working with me, consider booking a free 15-minute phone consultation by reaching out to our Keys to Hope office.
