Professional statement

Dr. Nichole Wood-Barcalow (PhD) is passionate about promoting positive change. She works with adolescents to older adults presenting with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions, and more. Her specialties include eating disorders and body image work. Dr. Nichole is a co-author of the workbook, Positive Body Image: A Clinical and Self Improvement Guide (2021), and the assessment known as the Body Appreciation Scale-2.

Dr. Nichole offers evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Family-Based Treatment (FBT) that are personalized to client needs. Her goal is to offer the highest quality of psychotherapy in the fewest number of sessions so that clients can become their own therapists and get busy living their lives.

Dr. Nichole received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees from The Ohio State University. She completed her internship at the University of Pittsburgh’s counseling center, and postdoctoral work in the adolescent eating disorder program at Laureate Clinic and Hospital in Tulsa, OK. She is offering both in-person and telehealth services (Ohio residents only at this time) with a focus on following recommended health guidelines.


Message to clients

I am so glad you’re here! I am passionate about helping you discover your own power to create positive change. My philosophy of psychotherapy is a collaborative, active process that focuses on your strengths and values. The ultimate goal is to empower and inspire you to increase your quality of life.

Following an initial assessment, I will provide a detailed, individualized plan that we will use together to decide our direction for care. I provide clear and direct communication along with the integration of measurements to determine progress in treatment. Between sessions, it is essential that you practice the concepts and skills we discuss in order to drive real change. I am warm, curious, have a sense of humor, and enjoy working with people from different backgrounds across the lifespan. I look forward to connecting and working with you on your journey!

Therapist's note

Although I do not accept insurance, you can request reimbursement for out-of-network benefits through your insurance company. Out-of-network means that your insurance may reimburse part of your service fees at their discretion. Most clients are reimbursed 60-100% of session fees, depending on the insurance and deductible criteria. This means that if your deductible has been met, your out-of-pocket cost could be comparable to an insurance co-pay. If you're interested in using your out-of-network benefit, I can provide a detailed receipt for you to submit to your insurance company, known as a superbill. Let's talk about how easy this process can be including tips from other clients during our free phone consultation.
