About Pattra Dodd

As a licensed therapist with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions, with a particular emphasis on supporting older adults, veterans, and young professionals.

I bring a compassionate and nuanced approach to therapy, drawing from extensive clinical expertise in addressing communication difficulties, social anxiety, isolation, and self-esteem concerns. My work is deeply rooted in understanding each individual’s unique journey and helping them develop meaningful strategies for personal growth and emotional well-being.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered, designed to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strengths. I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they work towards healing, self-understanding, and positive life changes.

“I absolutely love her, shes a very caring and understanding person and she makes you feel as if you can talk to her about anything. She checks up on me and sends messages which shows that she truly cares.”

“My experience with Pattra has been excellent. My whole life has changed for the better ever since I’ve not missed a session with Pattra. She’s knowledgeable and an amazing listener.”

“Pattra is amazing. I appreciate her honesty and guidance in each session. Pattra motivates me to motivate myself! She understands my struggles and helps me find a way to deal with the circumstances at hand for which I cannot control! When I didn't think anyone would be able to help me, I was matched with Pattra!”

“Pattra Dodd is terrific. Besides the obvious like on time, respectful and a good listener, Pattra gives me great direction and has suggestions that always gets me thinking in a good direction. I feel so lucky to have her to talk to and figure things out.”

“I feel like she is one of the best therapists I’ve ever had as she checks in on me and listens and doesn’t judge, I always feel like I can talk to her about whatever I need to get off my chest.”

“Pattra’s CBT knowledge/skills along with her kind and professional demeanor have made a huge impact in my life.”

“Pattra has helped me so much by listening, explaining, and giving me things to work on or practices to help better myself. Very down to earth and takes my well-being seriously!”

“Pattra is very friendly and helpful in moving me out of my old stuck ways of thinking and acting, and has been monumental in creating the shift I’ve been trying to figure out on my own for my whole life.”

“Pattra is just overall a wonderful human; she is considerate, kind, and knows how to redirect conversation gently when getting off track from the original point. Pattra routinely checks in outside of our sessions and will conversate in messages outside of our sessions together. I never feel as if she is unavailable to me, and I know I can reach out to her whenever and she will not make me feel like a burden to do so.”

“Pattra Dodd is so easy to talk to, she takes notes and can recall past experiences and people that I’ve spoken about so that she truly personalizes what she says to you. She is very professional and cares. There are some weeks that I wonder if I need to talk and once I have the appointment it becomes obvious that I did need to talk. I’m doing better with her help”

“I appreciate that she remembers our past conversations. She listens!”

“Pattra is an amazing therapist. She is always there for me, sends me regular messages. She remembers everything which I appreciate. She is very helpful.”

“Pattra has been an amazing therapist and I feel like I have realized many things and grown as a person. I am very grateful and would highly recommend her.”

“Pattra is a wonderful therapist. She shared an amazing expertise on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a well mannered and consistent way to keep me accountable on following through with my CBT tools. Through my sessions with her, the tools she provided, exercise, and meditation, I was able to reach further than I ever thought I could in my personal growth goals this year, my reactivity to stress lowered significantly. I plan to continue my sessions with her for at least one more year. She has been my best therapist so far, hands down!”

“Pattra Dodd really cares. She listens and takes notes so that she can really help you with your issues past present & future. She stays in touch during the week which feels so good. I love my therapist. So happy about that!”
