My name is Deja Jackson, LCSWA. I became a Raleigh resident in 2014, but I have lived in NC most of my life. I graduated from Elizabeth City with a bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2014. During this time, I discovered my true desire to help people struggling with mental health in a bigger capacity. I decided to go back to school and get my master’s degree and was accepted into the Walden University Social Work Program. I graduated with my MSW degree in February 2021. The populations I work with are older teenagers, young adults, and adults.

 

I adopted my Co-Therapist Bandit in February of 2022 from the Wake County Animal Shelter. Bandit is quiet, playful, handsome, and does not always recognize his size, he sometimes acts as a small lap dog. Bandit gets excited to meet new people and always shows them how much he has missed them (even if they met for the first time).
