Dr. Caleb Dodson, PhD, LMHC

Psychotherapist
236 W 27th St, 1003, New York, NY
I’m Caleb, a psychotherapist in Chelsea, Manhattan, and online, working with adults who carry more than they let others see. Many people I work with have longstanding patterns, have tried other therapists or approaches without much luck, and are still waiting for something to shift. They tend to be deeply invested in their lives and feel a lot. I work with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, loneliness, shame, relationship patterns, and questions of identity and meaning. My approach is existential and relational, informed by contemporary psychoanalysis. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with formal training in Existential Analysis, and I’m currently in psychoanalytic training. In practice, that means less homework and fewer worksheets, and more attention to what you’re actually living through: your feelings, your relationships, your history, and what happens between the two of us. Insight matters, but lasting change usually comes from a new experience, not just understanding an old one. Clients often describe our work as warm, genuine, clarifying, and at times refreshingly direct. Our first session is a chance to talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve tried before, and what you’re hoping for, and to get a feel for whether we’re a good fit. From there we meet weekly, because meaningful change takes consistency. I see adults individually, in person near the Fashion Institute of Technology or by video.
