Reverend Dr. Marshall (or Dr, Mecca as she is affectionately called) is a Sexual Trauma Restorative Counselor, with over 30 years' experience working with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. She has also worked as a Court Appointed Advocate for abused and neglected children and served in several shelters for abused women.
In her current role, she helps survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and those suffering from various forms of trauma reclaim their lives by providing a pathway to emotional healing and restoration through spiritual counseling.
She serves as an Associate Reverend at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Springfield, OH. She also serves as the Director of the Counseling Ministry and teaches New Members Class.

She has also earned a Master of Art in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University, and is working towards a 2nd Ph.D., in Clinical Pastoral Counseling at Colorado Theological Seminary.
Reverend Dr. Marshall was raised by her grandparents who were devout Christians, with a love for helping those in need. Grounded in Christ, with a spirit of advocacy, she has always been blessed and guided by an unwavering love and compassion for people. This led her to open her business, Unspoken Courage. Whether it is through life coaching, counseling or advocacy, her goal is to be a voice for those silenced by the harsh realities of life.
In addition to her counseling and advocacy, she is a Certified Christian Life Coach, Certified Professional Life Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Group Facilitator, an Amazon Best Selling Author, Public Speaker, Educator, and Social Justice Activist. She serves as the Political Action Chair for Springfield Ohio’s NAACP, and a member of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW).

To further her community work, she founded Breaking Free to Be Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing education and training aimed at decreasing and preventing sexual assault and domestic violence, specifically in African American and faith-based communities.
Reverend Dr. Marshall serves in many capacities at her church, and in her community; however, aside from her dedication and devotion to GOD, her most cherished role is wife and helpmate to her loving husband Wayne Marshall, who she feels GOD created especially for her.
Reverend Dr. Marshall believes through Jesus Christ all things are possible, and with His guidance, she will help those silenced, find their voice.

Spiritual Counseling, Coaching and Emotional Restoration
Christian Life Coaching
This is a client-centered relationship between you and a supportive spiritual life coach. This one-on-one collaborative, confidential relationship in which the client is guided to make better decisions, look at alternative choices, while identifying challenges and barriers. The goal is to enable the client to reach beyond their feelings or limitations, and focus better to achieve optimal goals. Spiritual Life Coaching inspires the client to seek the Lord's will in their lives and align their lives with God's plan.
Sexual Assault Trauma Counseling
Many individuals can experience trauma associated with sexual assault long after it happens. Anxiety, fear, intimacy issues, and shame are just a few emotions one may experience. One-on-one sessions will provide the emotional support client needs to systematically break down barriers, reclaim and restore theirs lives in order to break free from all that is holding them back from truly living their lives.
Relationship and Family Counseling
Relationship building can be beneficial to couples, and families who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Sessions are held in a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship with each other while strengthening your relationship with God.
Intimate Partner Violence Counseling
Leaving an abusive relationship may be one of the bravest things you have ever done. And I thank GOD you found the courage and the strength to leave. You are no longer a victim! You are a survivor! Things may be scary, and you may not know what to do next. Know that you have your entire life in front of you. You are not alone. We can help! Through prayer and counseling, GOD will see you through.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Through Christian premarital counseling you will explore each others' faith, personal convictions, expectations for your future, and the responsibilities you will have as a married couple. More than anything, premarital counseling aims to produce a marriage that is biblical and God-honoring.
Grief Counseling
When it comes to grief, there is no expiration date. Nor does it look the same for everyone. Through grief counseling, you will develop healthy ways to navigate the various steps of grief, in a safe and supportive relationship with a counselor and/or group. Grief is not about forgetting, it is about moving forward and learning to live differently.
Christian Counseling
Client will be guided toward emotional healing and spiritual growth through self-discovery. It is not what you can change about yourself but allowing GOD to change you. You will understand through counseling, the focus is not on what you do, but learning why you do it, and make changes based on this knowledge.

Breaking Free to Be Me!
Six-Month Coaching Program
I have been afforded the opportunity to work with women in a variety of my social circles. At least one woman shares with me they have been assaulted at some point in their lives, but never told anyone. They have learned to "deal" with it.
My experiences have taught me that women who “deal” with it are those who may experience intimacy issues, trust issues, or suffer from anxiety, and maybe depression.
You do not have to deal with it! You want to live your life freely. You want to be free from all that is holding you back from truly living in your purpose. You deserve it, and I can help you through my six-months coaching program.
This is a program designed to help you find ways to navigate the complexities of trauma, uncover the misconceptions of sexual assault, expose the barriers that block your blessings to emotional healing and restoration.
If you want to learn more about this program, please schedule an appointment here: https://ScheduledwithUnspokenCourage.as.me/ and we can discuss if this is a right fit for you.
Join my community!
In the meantime, I invite you to join my free Facebook community "Breaking Free to Be "The Support Group" where you can share a safe space with other survivors, advocates, and others who are committed to finding balance in their lives.
