People have unique stories that include highs and lows and good and bad times. I want to hear your story because it can be considered helpful to learn and understand the way you view life. My name is Deante Lilly. I have worked in the mental health field for over 17 years and counting. I started my journey in the group home settings with the developmental disability population. Then I worked in a workshop with the same population. Next, I became a case manager and I worked with the population of dual-diagnosed clients, dealing with substance abuse and mental illness. I would like to explore working with families, couples, and adolescents.  I received my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at Cleveland State University. Also, I received my undergraduate degree as a psychology major at Lake Erie College.  I have an interest in working with clients with sexual dysfunction, addiction, and trauma. I have intern experience at Community Assessment Treatment Services in Cleveland, Oh. I have been practicing at Advanced Psychotherapy Services since August of 2022. My modules are motivational interviewing and CBT. As a clinician, I enjoy listening to unique stories that have created the person that I am meeting. I want to provide a space for expression, listening, insight, and education. I hope to meet you very soon.
