Lilly Rosado, MA, LMFT-Associate

I think of psychotherapy as a helping relationship built on trust and respect with the understanding that people are the expert in their own lives. I cannot tell you what decisions to take, but I can work together with you to figure out what challenges are getting in the way and making life difficult. As your therapist I will not judge you. I will listen for your wisdom, because I believe in your ability to learn new skills, grow, heal, and thrive. Having been a military spouse, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges experienced by military families. I bring over 15 years of experience working in the Nonprofit field as a case manager and program coordinator to my Online counseling work. I have seen first hand how poverty, homeless, social injustices, difficult childhoods, health issues, and trauma all impact overall well-being and family and individual functioning. This work motivated me to pursue a counseling degree from St Edwards University. After completing my education and passing the State of Texas Licensure exam I was granted the Marriage and Family Therapist Associate license to practice under supervision and complete 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience. As a therapist I work a systems perspective. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at. I work collaboratively to create Solution Focused goals, believing that small success leads to bigger success. I use Narrative Therapy to help clients create new and healthier stories of their lived experience, always focused on helping clients to fully understand themselves and through the work in therapy discover the courage to live their most authentic and fulfilling life.
