Dr. Chase is a clinical therapist who provides psychotherapy to children, teens, adults, and families.

Hi, I am Dr. Lauren Chase, the founder of Climbing Hills Counseling. I help high-achieving women and girls raise their self-esteem, overcome anxiety and self-doubt, and reach their full potential. Come sit down on your favorite chair, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let’s talk about the stress with work, friends, school, or relationships you have been experiencing. Balancing multiple roles and responsibilities can be so exhausting! Whether you are in your favorite workout leggings or business casual trousers, we can work together towards your goals. As a fellow beautifully anxious person, I understand what it is like to exist in constant survival mode until the next challenge and not enjoy your accomplishments because it is hard to feel “good enough.” Let’s work together to fight that anxiety, people-pleasing, and that bully in your head telling you that you’re just not “enough.” I believe that you can overcome your challenges and be your true self, but sometimes we need a little guidance and push up the hill. Once we understand, “how” and “why” we do what we do, we can become brave enough to break these patterns and start living life differently.
