“Lonnie is a very intelligent and understanding therapist. He is able to meet you exactly where you are. In the past I have found that most therapists want to start at level 1 but he was able to get right into the deeper levels and has been a huge part of many powerful breakthroughs. He is awesome!”

Getting to know Lonnie Prater
You've lost something you may never get back: a relationship, your health, your peace of mind, the way things were. Maybe a loved one died, or left, or became lost in an addiction. Maybe you spend your days treading water in a sea of emptiness, hurt, and self-doubt. Maybe every time you close your eyes, an endless reel of misery and might-have-beens begins to play. You don't like the person you're becoming. You've tried so many things. Worked so hard. But you just can't seem to get out of your own way, much less move forward.
There is still hope. Problems can be solved. Emotions can be mastered. Habits can be replaced. Perspectives can shift. You can learn to live beautifully in a world full of discomfort and change. All you have to do is reach out for help and do the work.
Since 2015, I've been helping people build a healthy life they can be proud of from the ashes of addiction, mental health challenges, and codependent habits. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and a Bachelor's degree from Thomas Edison State University. If you're an adult ready for LASTING POSITIVE LIFE CHANGE, I offer flexible hours and self-pay options.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I have been seeing therapist on and off since I was in high school and Lon has been the most impactful therapist yet. His style and modalities have really had a positive impact on my mental health, relationships, trauma and overall life. He is warm but direct. He pulls interventions from all different kinds of theories so I feel like every session is directly tailored for me. I leave each session with new things I have learned or have being challenged in a new way. I highly recommend anyone to Lon!

I was incredibly hesitant to even start therapy in the first place, as I felt like there were so many people probably worse off than me. I spent a lot of time reading through the different therapist's profiles here before choosing Lon, and I am so happy that I did. He has helped me realize that the trauma I have gone through is still TRAUMA, no matter how dramatic.
I have only been seeing him a little over a month, and I am already seeing improvement in the areas I was most concerned about. He is able to be direct but still remain warm and he has a way to bring in humor as well, which I really appreciate. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

I am writing this well deserved review after spending only my first hour with Lonnie P. During our first made me feel heard and seen as a person. I did not feel uncomfortable for even a moment. He was very warm and easy to talk to. I am very happy to have him with me in this journey.
