Dr. Calvin Dorsey is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist in Denver, Colorado, who provides individualized, evidence-informed mental health care through an integrative approach to psychotherapy and psychiatric medication management. 

Dr. Dorsey was educated at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, followed by a Psychiatry Residency at the University of Colorado. He also completed additional training and certification in sports psychiatry through the International Society for Sports Psychiatry and is pursuing further training toward psychoanalytic certification.

He welcomes patients of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds, striving to create a respectful, confidential, and inclusive therapeutic environment where individuals feel comfortable expressing their authentic selves.

Dr. Dorsey emphasizes a compassionate, curious, and collaborative therapeutic relationship, recognizing that patients do not always need a formal …psychiatric diagnosis to benefit from treatment.

His approach prioritizes understanding each patient's unique experiences, personal history, cultural background, relationships, and treatment goals with services such as:

• Individual Psychotherapy: Personalized therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), humanistic approaches, and exploration of interpersonal and developmental patterns.
• Psychiatric Evaluations and Diagnostic Assessments: Consultative evaluations and assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning for mental, emotional, and behavioral health conditions.
• Psychiatric Medication Management and Gentle Deprescribing: Collaborative medication selection, prescription management, treatment monitoring, and gradual medication reduction when clinically appropriate.
• Substance Use Counseling and Mental Health Treatment: Support for addiction and substance-related concerns, alongside treatment for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, bipolar-spectrum disorders, and PTSD.
• Sports Psychiatry for Athletes: Specialized psychiatric consultation and treatment for high school, NCAA, and professional athletes, integrating mental health care with the unique demands of athletic performance and competition.

Dr. Dorsey operates on a private-pay basis and does not directly accept insurance, although he can provide superbills and supporting documentation for patients seeking potential out-of-network reimbursement.
