Shele Lillis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, CFRC
Taking the step to begin therapy is an act of profound courage, and I deeply respect the vulnerability it requires. I want you to know that the space we create together will be a sanctuary—one defined by unwavering trust, safety, and non-judgment. My intention is for you to feel truly seen and heard from our very first interaction. I am motivated by the desire to support clients through personal reflection and insight; to empower clients as they walk through their life journey. I am passionate about creating a strong connection to support the therapeutic alliance needed to achieve healing, growth, or, any other therapeutic goal.
With 15+ years of experience, I am skilled in working with individuals, couples, young adults, veterans, and the first responder community. Shele has worked in all treatment levels, and currently private practice. She enjoys all areas of mental health and specializes in treating PTSD/trauma, resiliency training, couples counseling, and eating disorders.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
You may be someone who is accustomed to managing a great deal on your own—but over time, stress, anxiety, low mood, or difficulty focusing can begin to interfere with daily life. I specialize in working with adults who carry significant responsibility and want a clearer understanding of what is affecting their mood, attention, and overall functioning. My background in military psychology informs a practical, evidence-based approach focused on restoring clarity, stability, and sustainable performance across work and personal life. If you are looking for thoughtful, structured support to move forward more effectively, I invite you to reach out to learn more or schedule an appointment.

Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
I began to pursue being a therapist because it is a source of healing and understanding and I want to help nurture that in others. I believe in paying it forward. There is a need to provide affordable and accessible mental health care. Therapy is a tool by which people can grow in the understanding of themselves and the world around them. IT is important to provide ethical and reliable care to those who want and need it. I try to guide the patient through the therapeutic experience by providing REST (Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust.) This is one of the basic principles that I believe creates a healthy relationship. Come join me a safe space.

Abilene is a West Texas city home to Dyess Air Force Base—host of a B-1 Lancer bomber wing—as well as three Christian universities: Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene Christian University, and McMurry University, giving the city a distinctive identity anchored by military service and faith-based education. The strong evangelical Christian cultural context shapes how mental health is discussed and accessed in the community, with many residents preferring faith-integrated therapy or pastoral counseling as a primary mode of support. Military and veteran mental health needs—particularly trauma, PTSD, and family stress—are a significant part of the Abilene therapy landscape, and the city's position in remote West Texas means that access to specialist care can require telehealth or significant travel. Common therapy concerns include faith and mental health, military service and transition stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of living in a close-knit, religiously conservative community in an isolated regional city.
