Mental Health:Faith-Based- Dr &Counselor-Liberty University Jeanne Brooks on GD

Jeanne Brooks has her PhD in Psychology and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She spent much of her adult life in Nacogdoches, Tx.  She had a private practice, in a Christian Counseling Center, for almost 20 years with a specialty in chemical dependency, working with troubled children and adolescents.  She also spent several years working with homeless women, helping them to find restoration through God’s love. Her life at that time was filled with being a wife and the mother of two awesome girls, while helping others realize their strength in Christ. God blessed her with an incredible family and a simple but busy life. However, on November 30, 2007, God called her best friend and husband home. God showed her in those first few days of shock that, in fact, His grace is sufficient and He carried her through the most difficult challenge of her life. In this journey, He brought her from the security of all she knew in the way of home, career, and family, to a new glorious place...Lynchburg, Va. Because of her faith in God’s perfect plans for her, in the summer of 2008 she packed up her girls, leaving all they knew to drive across country to something new and different. Her new career as a professor at Liberty University in the Center for Counseling and Family Studies, and her new life in Lynchburg, has become another testament to God's ability to heal the broken hearted and to restore that which the locusts destroyed. She has since met and married a widower who lost his wife around the same time that her husband died. God has given her a completely new life, making beauty from the ashes.
