Tonya Meeks

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in California with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues, career difficulties, & executive coaching. I also have experience working with professional coaching. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

With extensive experience in dual diagnosis, addiction, and complex trauma, I, Tonya Meeks, bring a unique blend of clinical insight and creative practice to my work as a drama therapist. I have worked in both private practice and in residential and primary psychological treatment settings, where I specialize in guiding the entire family system toward healing and resilience.

My approach is direct, empathetic, and deeply intuitive, informed by my training in depth psychotherapy and enriched by my background in performance. I am passionate about helping people embrace and express their creativity, believing that everyone has a creative spirit meant to flourish. I especially enjoy working with artists, creatives, and those wishing to explore or develop their creative capacities.

In recent years, I have also focused on supporting individuals and families affected by autism. I work closely with both parents and children on the spectrum, helping to foster communication, empathy, and growth through creative and therapeutic interventions tailored to each family’s unique needs. My approach is collaborative and supportive, recognizing the strengths and individual needs of each family member within the broader family system.

Since becoming a mother, I have expanded my focus to include issues surrounding infertility, motherhood, and parenting. As someone who has walked the path of infertility and chosen single motherhood, I bring a unique perspective and deep empathy to clients navigating these experiences. I understand firsthand the profound joys and challenges of parenthood and aim to support others in a way that is both grounded and affirming.

In our work together, I am committed to walking alongside you on even the darkest paths, helping you find the light at every turn. My goal is to be a steadfast presence, guiding you toward healing, creativity, and a deeper understanding of yourself.
