“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.” (Matt 5:16, KJ21).

Dr. Jerra Dooley is a pastoral counselor, life coach, and women’s ministry leader with over 30 years of experience helping women heal, grow, and thrive through Christ. With deep compassion for those impacted by abuse, addiction, anxiety, and life transitions, she blends biblical wisdom with clinically informed tools to guide women toward freedom and purpose.

Jerra holds a doctorate in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Liberty University, where she also serves as a dissertation chair. She’s certified in trauma-informed life coaching, Christian CBT, Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), and more.
