Letitia Cullens-Proctor MA LPC

I didn’t get here the easy way.

Growing up, I was diagnosed with ADHD and a math learning disability in grade school — and I felt the weight of those labels early. I’m a first-gen college student from a low-income family, and those early experiences shaped how I saw myself for a long time. It wasn’t until much later that I was diagnosed as autistic — after years of being missed by a diagnostic system that wasn’t built for people like me. Especially not women. Especially not those who learned to blend in and perform.

I’ve also lived for years with invisible illnesses and autoimmune disorders — from chronic migraines to Celiac disease — and I know how exhausting it is to feel misunderstood by the world, dismissed by providers, or judged for what no one else can see.

Therapy helped me reclaim myself. Slowly. Through compassionate care, deep internal work, and the support of some incredible therapists (and my incredible partner), I started building a life that feels more aligned with who I am — and less about who I was supposed to be.

Now, I help others do the same.

What I Bring

I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, especially those who were diagnosed later in life. I also work with people navigating big, late-in-life realizations — about identity, trauma, disability, chronic illness — all the things that can shake your sense of self but also open up space for something more honest and expansive. Over the years, I’ve found that not only do neurodivergent adults seek support—but so do the people who love them. I now work with several partners, parents, and friends of ADHDers and autistic adults who are navigating what it means to show up with compassion without slipping into enabling, enmeshment, or burnout. In therapy, we explore psychoeducation, boundary setting, and how to build healthier, more sustainable relationships on both sides. If you’re here trying to support your person—while also learning how to care for yourself—you’re in the right place. I’m here for you, too.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, trained in EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and deeply flexible — blending somatic work, Internal Family Systems, polyvagal theory, and psychodynamic approaches. I love learning and growing as a clinician, but what makes me most effective in the room is showing up as a whole, authentic human. No masks. No pretending. Just real connection and real care.

Who I Work With

• Neurodivergent adults navigating new diagnoses, masking, burnout, and identity confusion as well as their family members

• People living with chronic illness and invisible disabilities

• Adults exploring late-in-life identity shifts around gender, sexuality, or neurotype

• People healing from complex trauma or attachment wounds

• Clients who feel like they’ve spent their whole lives trying to fit or fix themselves

• Clients exploring or established in ethical non-monogamy

I offer care that’s grounded in ethics, evidence, and empathy — but also full of creativity, flexibility, and a deep respect for your autonomy. You don’t have to perform wellness here. You don’t have to hide the messy parts. You don’t have to shrink.

You get to show up as all of you — and I will, too.

Beyond the Therapy Room:

You’ll probably notice my hair changes color — it's been green, pink, red, and probably something new by the time you read this. It's one way I express creativity and remind myself I don’t have to hide who I am. Therapy with me is the same — authentic, ever-evolving, and never about forcing yourself into a box that doesn't fit.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me out in the woods, by the Great Lakes, or somewhere in the mountains with my partner and our rescue dog, Hadley (she’s my unofficial co-therapist and often pops into sessions). I’m always exploring new creative outlets — embroidery, cooking, baking, documentary deep-dives — and recently, I’ve been re-learning the clarinet. Honestly, there’s not a hobby I haven’t tried.

If we work together, I’d love to hear about yours.
