Asja Hall

LCSW, 8 years of experience
Empowering
Direct
Authentic

I am a LCSW with over 8 years of experience working as a therapist & life coach. My clients have consisted of those dealing with stress/anxiety, depression, work stress/burnout, interpersonal relationship conflicts, and those dealing with life transitions. I work with clients 18 and older. I also work with several college age adults dealing with the integration into adult life, campus living/being away from home, and understanding who they are as they transition into adulthood.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I believe in treating all with respect, sensitivity, compassion, & direct honesty. Our dialog will be geared towards your needs & growth. Our interactions are personable so you can feel as comfortable as possible with no feelings of being pushed or judgement.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strengths as a therapist and life coach are I am honest, direct, do not judge, and personable. Additionally, I have life experience as a single mother, as a minority, and as a human which makes me relatable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with ages 18 to 25 in common areas like identity formation, transitioning into adulthood, career/education stress, relationship issues, mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, etc.), substance use, and self-esteem struggles. I also enjoy working with ages 26-35 in areas such as career pressure, work-life balance, relationship/marriage concerns, financial stress, fertility/parenthood struggles, mental health conditions (anxiety, depression, stress), and identity exploration. With ages 36-45, I enjoy working in areas of midlife crisis, career shifts, parenting challenges, marital issues, mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, etc.), divorce, grief and loss, and caregiving responsibilities.

From the first session, I felt comfortable, heard, and genuinely supported. I appreciate and feel thankful for the honest, direct feedback that helps me grow while still feeling safe and respected. The balance of kindness, humor, and authenticity makes it easy to open up. The conversations feel real and often give me a new perspective. I never feel rushed or dismissed and always leave feeling understood, encouraged, and grateful for the support.

I left this session feeling emotionally unsafe and dismissed. During a vulnerable moment when I asked for clarification about something the Asja said, she looked at my husband and smiled instead of responding professionally. Whether intentional or not, it felt mocking and humiliating. I expected a neutral and supportive environment where both people felt heard and respected, but I left feeling invalidated and uncomfortable expressing my feelings openly.

I love that she doesn't mess around with feedback. I have things I need to hear that are more constructive than just what people want to hear. She will always be honest.
