About Me
Zoe Adams is a dedicated mental health advocate whose journey has been shaped by a rich tapestry of experiences and a profound commitment to serving others. Born in Puerto Rico and later relocating to Orlando, Florida, Zoe’s life took a significant turn when she joined the United States Army at the age of 22. Over nearly 18 years of service, including a deployment overseas, she cultivated resilience and leadership skills that would later inform her approach to mental health counseling. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Liberty University, Zoe combines academic knowledge with real-world experience, creating a strong foundation for her future endeavors in the field.
Currently pursuing her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University, Zoe is on track to graduate in 2026. Her prior role as a behavioral therapist in North Carolina, where she worked with children on the autism spectrum, ignited a passion for helping individuals navigate their challenges and improve their lives. This invaluable experience has deepened her understanding of the complexities of mental health, reinforcing her desire to make a difference, especially within the military community. Zoe’s ultimate goal is to provide support and resources to soldiers grappling with combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an issue close to her heart as the spouse of an active-duty Special Operations Service Member.
Zoe is particularly interested in exploring various therapeutic modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which she believes can be transformative for those recovering from trauma. With a steadfast commitment to her mission, she aims to empower veterans and active-duty personnel to reclaim their lives and find peace after their service. As she continues her educational journey, Zoe looks forward to connecting with others who share her passion for mental health and community service, fostering a network of support for those in need.
