My name is Dedra, but you can call me Dr. D, Dr. Dedra, Dr. Forbes. I have a diverse and rich background in mental and behavioral health, crisis intervention, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and ASD. I am recently licensed Marriage & Family Pastoral Therapist, Board Certified Christian Counselor by the National Association of Christian Counselors (NACC). I am a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who, five years ago, the Spirit led me to Pastoral Counseling. I have since yielded and recently obtained my Doctorate in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University. I have experience with online Behavior Coaching, Counseling, and teaching (as well as being the Head of Sabbath School Ministry) for 8 years. 

I know I have been chosen and accepted and I need to integrate CBT with Biblical Scriptures to further be a “Helper of Many”. Please let me know how I can be of service remotely. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Bless,

Dr. Dedra
