“I have had the pleasure of working with D'Andrala (Dede) at two settings, once as her supervisor at Dallas Metrocare and again as a colleague at Dallas County (our teams work closely together). Dede is a skilled clinician who has experience working with a wide range of clinical concerns, including families who are challenged with helping a family member who has a severe mental illness, complex trauma or previously diagnosed condition. She is compassionate, creative, empathic, goal-oriented and proactive in finding solutions for family members. She is well-liked by her colleagues and is always looking to lift others up, even as she works in very challenging work environments. I highly recommend Dede as a talented clinician who has a knack for working with a variety of cases and finding creative solutions for families, empowering them to be the best they can be!”
