Asia LeakLPC, LCPC

Asia Leak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who centers trauma-informed care in sessions. She focuses on helping adults and young people process traumatic experiences, bipolar-related challenges, and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. Her work emphasizes practical tools and embodied practices that people can use between appointments.

Asia brings eight years of counseling experience and a blend of movement-informed methods to her practice. She combines trauma-focused cognitive behavioral strategies with narrative approaches and somatic exercises. That mix is used to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions connect and to reframe painful personal stories.

Her training includes study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with additional coursework in dance/movement techniques. She also holds national counselor certification, is trained in dance/movement therapy, and is an experienced registered yoga teacher. These skills support her use of play, movement, and mindfulness in session.

In practical terms, sessions may include breathing practices, gentle movement, grounding exercises, and structured talk interventions. Asia also created a therapeutic board game to help children process loss tied to parental incarceration, showing her comfort with creative tools and play-based work.

People seeking help for postpartum depression, dissociation, sexual assault and abuse, or prejudice-related stress will find a practitioner who integrates body-based practices with talk therapy. Those interested in starting can expect clear steps to connect and schedule a first meeting.

How movement-informed and trauma-focused approaches translate online

Asia uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioral ideas and somatic or movement-informed practices to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods involve identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying new responses to reduce distress; they are often used for post-traumatic stress and mood instability. Somatic and movement-informed work emphasizes sensing the body, gentle grounding, and mindful movement to reduce tension and rebuild a sense of safety in the body.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they check in regularly and adjust methods as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continued work on movement awareness and mindfulness using guided practices adapted for video or audio sessions.
