Dr. Mara Mesa!
I’m proud to celebrate Dr. Mara Mesa on her recent achievement—earning her Doctorate in Community Care and Traumatology from Liberty University! It’s been a pleasure to know Mara over the years.
I still remember her days as a student at our counseling center in Port Orange, where her heart for helping others and her natural gift for connecting with people stood out from the very beginning.
Watching Mara grow from a talented intern to the accomplished therapist has been an honor. She’s brings dedication and compassion to her work, and it’s no surprise she’s become a leader in her field.
Her background as a U.S. Army veteran and former drill instructor gives her a deep understanding of human behavior and resilience, and that perspective is invaluable to the clients she serves. On top of that, she’s married to a combat veteran herself and is raising three kids.
Balancing all of that with her professional life is no small feat, and she does it with much grace and strength. Congrats Dr. Mesa!!
