MarieLouise Dodson, M.A., LMHC

The integration of EMDR into a broader treatment approach in my practice has been profound. I experience that EMDR, like no other method of therapy, is helping my clients to clear childhood and adult relational trauma and attachment wounds, and generates emotional and somatic healing and health into the future. My approach to psychotherapy rests on humanistic-psychodynamic theory, onto which I synthesize therapy methods from Ego-state therapy, Gestalt therapy, Emotion Focused therapy, Existential therapy, Transpersonal Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, and Structural Dissociation theory to best serve the individual concerns that is brought into therapy.

After achieving my Social Work degree in Sweden in 1974, I specialized in providing individual and group therapy for adults with Dual Disorders. In the More >>> U.S, I am a Certified Chemical Dependency Professional and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in WA State.I am a Level I certified Emotion Focused Therapist; Level I Gottman Method therapist; have the Advanced Lifespan Integration training; and continuously have ongoing training/consultation in EMDR, Trauma and Dissociation.

I have 30 plus years clinical practice from Sweden, 15 of which in private practice in Stockholm, and the past 12 years in USA. Clinical experience, graduate studies, and continuing education are significant building blocks in the foundation for my work. Personal life experience, such as being a mother and grandmother, growing up in Europe, and moving to the U.S. in midlife, has in addition provided me with a deep understanding and empathy for geographic transitions, and diverse and cultural challenges that you bring to therapy.  Close >>>
