Derylene Proctor, LMHC
About me
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring three decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional wellness, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, relationship dynamics, addiction recovery, and self-esteem development.
I am particularly passionate about working with individuals seeking Christian-informed guidance and those experiencing midlife transitions. My approach focuses on empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication skills, and rediscover personal purpose. I offer supportive, non-judgmental counseling for individuals working through significant life changes, relationship challenges, and personal growth journeys.
My therapeutic work emphasizes healing through self-love, forgiveness, and intentional personal development. I understand the intricate ways isolation, impulsivity, and commitment challenges can impact one's emotional landscape, and I'm dedicated to walking alongside clients as they create meaningful, transformative change.

Derylene Proctor has been so amazing. This is my first time trying therapy and I’m so glad I chose to start on my healing journey. She is a great listener, connects with me, and has given me great tools to heal. I am so grateful for her willingness to help me grow and become the best version of myself. Thank you!

Ms Proctor is a phenomenal therapist. She is a wonderful listener and provides honest feedback in a respectful manner. I love that she is able to incorporate prayer and biblical perspective into our sessions (per my request) Ms Proctor has already been a tremendous help in my growing and healing journey, and I have great confidence that by working with her, I will achieve the full healing and growth that I need.

I’ve talked to Dr. Proctor twice and each time she listens and helps me with biblical based solutions for my anxiety and mental struggles. She is a great woman of God and also gives me beautiful soothing prayers each session!!
