Dorothy Meeks is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 32 years of clinical experience. As an LMFT she is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families to address relational and systemic concerns, bringing long-standing expertise to complex life transitions and interpersonal challenges.

Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, depression, and coping with life changes, as well as coaching, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, and career matters. She also works with compassion fatigue and a range of additional areas including aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin difficulty, fatherhood and fertility concerns, first responder and veteran issues, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and non-monogamous relationship structures.

Meeks integrates evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Her style is compassionate and individualized, offering a non-judgmental environment where people can explore their experiences, refine communication skills, and build greater self-understanding.

The overarching aim of her work is to help clients strengthen resilience, improve relationships, and move toward more satisfying and manageable ways of living. With decades of experience working with diverse populations including veterans and first responders, she brings both depth and practical focus to therapeutic work.
