Kathleen Avegno Bonie, Ph.D.
The owner and Director of Professional Psychology and Consultation, Inc.
Dr. Bonie, who earned her doctoral degree from the University of Cincinnati, is a licensed psychologist and certified Gestalt therapist in the state of Ohio, and upholds the highest professional and ethical standards.

Since 1973, Dr. Bonie has evaluated and treated adolescents with learning and behavioral difficulties. She specializes in the treatment of adults who have experienced physical/sexual/emotional abuse and the feelings that follow…helplessness, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Using cognitive-behavioral methods, relaxation techniques, and Gestalt therapy, Dr. Bonie helps those with stress related problems, chronic pain, and life-threatening illnesses.

She assists couples in developing the problem-solving and communication skills necessary for a stable, loving relationship. With a positive, holistic perspective, Dr. Bonie guides others in coping with the end of a relationship, death of a loved-one, and the feelings of loneliness and fear that may accompany life's unpredictable crises.

Dr. Bonie was on the staff of Franciscan Medical Center, Dayton Campus, until its closing in August, 2000. She has offered services since 1992 to the PALS for Life Breast Cancer Support Group. For over four years in her private practice Dr. Bonie co-facilitated group therapy for women cancer survivors on a weekly basis. With sensitivity and caring Dr. Bonie addressed the needs of the group members in an holistic way by integrating her experience and training in group therapy with that of energy healing, such as Healing Touch, Reiki, Pranic Healing, and ChiLel Qigong.

In 2007 the Noble Circle Project for women surviving cancer selected Dr. Bonie to be the recipient of the “Noble Award in the Healing Arts.” Inscribed on the award are the words:  “We recognize and honor your professional skill and achievement, your compassion for those in need, your openness to complementary healing, your service to women surviving cancer, and your support of the Noble Circle Project.”
