Asia Proctor

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Washington, DC with extensive experience supporting at‐risk youth and justice‐involved adolescents. I received my undergraduate degree from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and earned my master’s degree from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

Whether navigating stress, trauma, life transitions, or identity development, my goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the version of themselves they want to become.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, uplifting, and grounded in evidence‐based practices. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution‐Focused Therapy to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while identifying practical steps toward meaningful change. I believe deeply in helping clients recognize that they are more than their experiences, their challenges, or their past. My work centers on empowerment, resilience, and creating a safe space where clients feel seen, supported, and capable of growth.

In our first session, clients can expect a warm, collaborative environment centered on building rapport. Establishing trust is essential, and I work intentionally to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and comfortable sharing their experiences. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, identify the areas you’d like to focus on, and begin shaping meaningful treatment goals together.

As a creative, strengths‐based therapist, I also take time to learn about your unique abilities, interests, and natural resilience. I incorporate these strengths into our work to support your growth and help you feel empowered throughout your therapeutic journey.
