Bonilee Maclay, Director of Counseling
Pastoral Counselor/TSY Certified/SYMBIS – Prepare/Enrich bonilee@agapehouseheals.org
Bonilee holds an Undergraduate Degree in Psychology, and a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Counseling. She is passionate about helping individuals discover their authentic selves as created in the Imago Dei (Image of God). This self is revealed when unhealthy relationship patterns/core false beliefs towards self, God, and others, are discovered and resolved. Bonilee believes we are wounded within relationship, so our healing needs to come through relationship. When we discover the false-belief systems we developed from our traumatic or less than nurturing environments we can apply God’s truth and restorative healing regarding self, God, and others.
Bonilee celebrates over 37 years of marriage, four grown children, and one grandbaby. She enjoys the outdoors and encouraging others to become the best version of who God created them to be.
