Sylvia B. Bodell

Director of Marketing

Born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in Arkansas, I’ve called Dallas home for 30+ years. I wasn’t born in Texas, but I tell people I got here as fast as could. I’ve spent the majority of my career in nonprofit, faith-based and health care public relations/marketing with a variety of organizations including Susan G. Komen for the Cure, MADD, UT Southwestern, Children’s Medical Center, Baylor Scott & White, and Texas Health Resources. I’ve been fortunate to be on the forefront of sharing some great medical breakthroughs in North Texas and love a heart-warming story of life change (my journalism background comes through)!


At The Center, we get to do this every day – be a part of stories of true life change that will impact generations to come. Never before has the need to make counseling accessible to all socioeconomic groups been more needed. We’re removing barriers and de-stigmatizing mental health – helping people to become healthy and whole. It’s a mission that inspires me, my family and friends, and hopefully will inspire others.
