B. Dodge Rea

B. Dodge Rea

Nashville , TN
Psychologist, PSYD
Dr. B. Dodge, a compassionate psychologist with a PsyD, embodies the belief that a truly effective therapist resembles a gardener more than a mechanic. This perspective highlights that her role is not to fix individuals, but to assist them in gently pruning the outdated parts of themselves that no longer serve a purpose. Within each client lies an innate capacity to heal and grow, particularly when provided with safety, compassion, and the unobstructed space to flourish. Her dedication goes beyond simply offering tools for change; it is about awakening the inherent wisdom within each individual. Utilizing an eclectic approach that incorporates metaphor, paradox, and humor, Dr. Dodge empowers clients to reclaim their strength on multiple levels. She creates a refuge—a relationship characterized by a pressure-free and judgment-free sanctuary, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds and histories. When necessary, she employs powerful techniques like EMDR, hypnosis, and group work. However, the essence of her work involves a profound reintroduction to aspects of oneself that may have been exiled for too long, reigniting strengths, emotions, and intuitive abilities. Through this process, clients reconnect with their healthy instincts and their connections to body and spirit, unlocking their organic potential to blossom anew.
