We listen, act, and transform.

Ase Healing Center (Delores Place) is a virtual center focused upon working with teenagers, young people, and adults to help manage trauma. Dr. La'Courtney D. Setzer founded this center in June 2016 in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Dr. Setzer is a thirteen year licensed mental health professional. Our Healing Counseling Team has expanded this virtual center to work with you. We have worked with individuals of all ages, couples, and families who have survived traumatic experiences, including assault, substance use, and abuse. Our namesake is our honored ancestor, Beatrice Delores Culbreath, maternal grandmother of our founder. Mrs. Culbreath was a trailblazing professional in her community. She practiced unconditional love, displayed timely wisdom, and was a role model to many individuals in Hickory, NC. Mrs. Culbreath's legacy as a trailblazer inspired our founder to continue this love towards others. The purpose of this center is to increase this legacy to others throughout the country. You’ve spent countless days, months, and years striving to get it right. To be seen and live beyond the constant and heavy feelings of hopelessness, fear, anger, and inadequacy. To move beyond shame and guilt. You may regret that you are here today—at this point in your life. But we want to assure you that reaching out for help today is a brave step. One that will lead to a new path in learning skills to help you live abundantly. And we want to assist you on this path. In our work together, we will assist you in learning the emotional skills necessary to relieve difficult emotions and conditions such as panic, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. We will empower you to identify and challenge negative behaviors and patterns that have prevented you from achieving your goals and living a satisfying life beyond the trauma you survived. Our work will result in increased confidence, improved self-worth and self-awareness, and healthy boundaries with self and others. In couples/family counseling, we will work with you and your partner to build a fulfilling union and overcome your relationship challenges. Common issues we treat in working with couples include infidelity, distrust, lack of intimacy, and poor communication. Counseling is a partnership where teamwork is required, and our team is passionate about working with you to improve your life and on your terms.
