LINDA DODDS, MS, LPCC

I feel the basis of good therapy is the relationship between the therapist and their client/clients. I seek first to create a trusting safe space for my clients through being present and actively listening. I am eclectic in my counseling and use my intuition and the client’s preferences in choosing a modality. I truly enjoy the art of therapy, and have decided to do what I really love: helping people on their life journey in a creative fun way. I take my client’s emotional life very seriously, but try to approach them with light, creativity, humor, all while teaching real skill building.

I work with couples, adults, families, adolescents and children.  I have special expertise in LGBTQ+, Transgender, Sexual issues, individuals with trauma, families healing from trauma, working with children and their caregivers.

LGBTQ+ Affirming.
