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 licensed through the the National Association of Christian Counselors (NACC) as a Marriage & Family Pastoral Therapist and Board Certified Christian Counselor. I am a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who, five years ago, the Spirit led me to Pastoral Counseling. I have since yielded and obtained my Doctorate in Community Care & Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University. I have experience with online Counseling/Therapy, Behavior Coaching, and Teaching (as well as having been the Head of a Sabbath School Ministry) for 9 years. 

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

Bless,

Dr. Dedra
