Jeffrey Proctor
My name is Jeffrey Proctor, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Allen, TX, near Dallas. I spent the first ten years of my life in Honduras as a Third Culture Kid {TCK) and faced significant challenges when transitioning back to the United States at nearly eleven years old. Additionally, being half Honduran, I have personal experience with struggles related to ethnic identity.
My approach
My approach focuses on helping you understand and manage your emotions, so you can recognize, express, and accept your feelings and those of others. With experience in various counseling settings, I can adapt my methods to meet your specific needs. I prioritize listening to you and getting to know you as a client. My style is somewhat casual because I believe it’s important to be authentic in therapy, setting an example that it’s okay to be yourself.
Certifications
I have experience working in various settings, including agencies, inpatient facilities, partial hospitalization programs {PHP), and residential programs. I have extensive experience helping both teens and adults with depression and anxiety. Additionally, I am a Certified Clinical Services Provider for ADHD and have significant experience working with parents and families to support their teens.
