Dorothy Vandekieft, LLMSW

Dorothy Vandekieft, LLMSW, is a clinical social worker who brings a non-judgmental and distinctive approach to therapy. Her clinical skills are rooted in trauma-informed care, and she is deeply grounded in her background as an educator. Drawing upon both career experiences allows her clients to experience a safe and nurturing environment, giving space to explore their inner worlds, express themselves freely, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.  

She utilizes evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to assist clients in moving towards their goals of healthy relationships, understanding of oneself, emotion regulation skills, and positive change.  Dorothy believes all people deserve to be heard and met where they are in this moment in their life. Focusing on a strengths-based approach with the understanding that all people are capable of growing and learning, Dorothy welcomes all clients with respect and compassion through a lens of cultural humility.
