"Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself."
-Miles Davis

Hello, I’m Caleb Dodson, a psychotherapist in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, relationship challenges, religious trauma, life transitions, eating disorders, and existential concerns. I’ve worked extensively with people in healthcare, non-profits, education, humanitarian work, and the arts—especially those who feel things deeply and carry a quiet emotional weight.

In a world that often discourages emotional life, therapy can be a rare place to show up fully. I offer a relational space grounded in acceptance, honesty, and deep presence—where you can feel known, even when you don’t quite know yourself.

My approach draws from the ideas of Interpersonal-Relational Psychoanalysis, Existential Therapy, and experiential, moment-to-moment work - but therapy is at base an emotional and affective relationship. So, I like to say I do ‘the Caleb thing’ because it’s through who we are as people, not a curated image, or website, that the rubber really hits the road and we get somewhere. This isn’t therapy that tries to fix you or come up with a cleaver interpretation - it’s about creating a new kind of emotional experience in relationship, and seeing where that leads. When your heading is towards growth and new experience, you’ll never miss.
