Nat Dodd, LMSW

Howdy, I’m Nat! My pronouns are they/them. I am a queer and neurodivergent therapist. I
most enjoy working with young adults, queer and trans folks, autistic people, and those living
with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.

My approach is person-centered and involves a variety of evidence-based strategies including
narrative therapy, behavioral activation for depression, and exposure and response
prevention (ERP) for the treatment of anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.

I love reading (especially poetry and fantasy) and would definitely be down to incorporate
some bibliotherapy into our work together. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and am
happy to offer walk & talk sessions.

My values as a therapist include autonomy, solidarity, collaboration, curiosity, and humility.
If you use drugs or are in recovery, know that my approach is rooted in the principles of
harm reduction. I am also sex-positive and kink-aware.

I have a Master of Social Work, with a concentration in Mental Health & Substance Use,
along with a Certificate of Health Education from Eastern Michigan University. I also work
in the community supporting young people experiencing homelessness.
