Deborah Wood

Deborah Wood

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hello! After my military career, I figured out there were no available job opportunities as a superhero so I chose a different path to help others and became a clinical social worker. While raising two kids, I started school, completed a life coaching course, and graduated with my MSW in 2006. I started my career at a local hospital providing inpatient services. Later, I joined an agency providing outpatient mental health therapy to help adults navigate through complicated life issues.
