Hi, my name is Bonnie Lilly and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and a Pastoral Counselor as well. I obtained my MA inn Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2016; my M.A in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary in 2014; and a B.S. in Psychology with emphasis in Christian Counseling from the Liberty University in 2012. I am also certified as a Registered Play Therapist. As a sister, mother, daughter, friend, and counselor, I believe that we are all relational beings and need relationships that are encouraging and uplifting! Everything is possible and our past does not determine our future. We can learn together and find a balance within our lives that promote positive growth and change! I personally, draw from several different therapeutic approaches such as Client-Centered Play Therapy, Choice Therapy, Faith Based Counseling and Solution Focused Therapy; however I favor Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I particularly enjoy working with individuals and couples through their traumas and interpersonal relationships. My passion is to see healing and restoration to hurting people while helping people find their full potential and live life abundantly. I was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, have three amazing adult children with one bonus son now, a grandson on the way and two awesome fur-babies.

15 years of experience offering psychology treatment
Hello, My name is Melody LeVane. I have been a licensed therapist in Texas for over 15 years. I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor with an MA in Counseling Psychology. I have worked with adults, couples, and adolescents, as well as traditional and non-traditional families. At this time, I work mostly with adults. When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, arts and crafts, and spending time with my family, friends, and our four rescue pups, Monkey, Panda, Roxy, and Zoey. My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, collaborative, and holistic, blending mind and body. While I use elements from various therapeutic modalities, my primary focus is on providing Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. However, I also use elements from Somatic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, the Gottman Method, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I provide a safe, accepting space where clients can explore their perspectives and experiment with shifting identifying habits that may be holding them back. My goal is to guide clients on a journey of self-discovery, offering realistic hope and the tools they need to move forward with grace and grit. My hope is that clients leave sessions feeling empowered, seen, and equipped to face the challenges ahead. Life is like a roller coaster. Sometimes, the ups and downs happen so fast that it's easy to get caught up in the ride and lose track of where we want to go. Sometimes, there doesn't seem to be enough time to figure out how to slow down, and at other times, all you can do is hang on for dear life. Every person's roller coaster is as unique as they are. If you are not satisfied with the way your life is going, therapy can help.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and Texas, credentialed in substance abuse counseling as a Certified Reciprocal Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRADC). I have over 6-years of professional work experience, including but not limited to helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, career counseling, spirituality, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, imposter syndrome, emotional intelligence, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, abandonment, rejection, safety, and security issues. I have also worked with clients with clinical mental illnesses and personality disorders. I spent time training and working in Behavioral Health and Substance Use Agencies before going into private practice (see The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesses).

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the Human Services field for ten years with individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. I also have a vast array of personal life experience in the areas in which I specialize.

My therapeutic approach will be tailored to your specific needs, and you and I will work together to determine your therapy goals. It's okay if you don't know or feel the list is too long to mention. Together we will find the answers you are looking for to help guide you in your journey.

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

- Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- Counseling with therapists: $100-300

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Wilmer?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Wilmer therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Wilmer, Texas can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Wilmer has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
