About The Founder

Dr. Abeba Fekade is Founder and Executive Director of the Healing Education and Research Center based in Alexandria Va, Unted States America. She holds a doctorate in neuropsychology and a master’s in cognitive developmental psychology from Howard University along with two undergraduate degrees in biology and psychology. She has taught psychology for over 25 years in various universities and colleges. Her research at the National Institute of Mental Health focuses on cognition and memory functions in individuals with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia. She is a certified Master Addiction Counselor and trained in neuro-linguistic programming, energy-based therapies, and auricular acupuncture for addiction treatment, trauma and wellness mental health couching.

Her academic and clinical work has evolved into a broad vision for healing that integrates science, psychology, cultural identity, and energetic awakening, spirituality. It is embodied by her model for the Unified Field of Healing-Tewahedo-, a framework that brings together body, spirit, energy, and community as one field of life. Her work is grounded in compassion, depth, and the belief that true wellbeing emerges when the whole person is restored to harmony and alignment with self and others.

Dr. Abeba Fekade’s life has been shaped by struggle, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to human dignity. Her journey continues through the work she does, the people she serves, and the belief that healing is both a personal and collective path toward authenticity and liberation.

She holds the understanding that human beings are not passive recipients of circumstance, but active participants in shaping and reshaping their lived reality. Central to her principle is that the human spirit is inherently resilient, its capacity to endure, to grow, to heal and to transform is quite remarkable. She approaches her work as both science and a calling — where knowledge meets compassion, and transformation becomes not only possible, but sustainable.

She is grounded and guided by the principle: In the absence of unnecessary fear and in the presence of unconditional love, all is possible.
