Jackie Dodd

About Jackie

My aim in any therapy session is to support you in a way that you find helpful, while holding a safe enough space to challenge beliefs and behaviours you deem unhelpful.

I have varied work experience in the field of mental health, including several years working alongside individuals who live with the lasting impacts of trauma, substance use, mental health diagnoses, poverty, and homelessness.

I am Canadian born and Indian, and part of my work is rooted in my lived experience existing between cultures to support clients who face similar struggles.

My Masters of Counselling Psychology degree is supplemented by additional postgraduate training in cognitive behaviour therapy, mindful self-compassion, anti-oppressive psychotherapy, narrative therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and strengths-based listening. I incorporate an intersectional feminist lens in my work, and am continually learning to be a more effective ally to multiple communities (including Black, Indigenous, people with racialized identities, and LGBTQ2SIA+).

Outside of Counselling work, I enjoy spending time with friends, animals, and my niece and nephews.

I see clients in person at my Vancouver office on Mondays and Fridays, and am available virtually on Thursdays.
