ABOUT CHASE
UNCC Grad 2005 Major Psychology
UNC Grad 2010 Master's in Counseling
A native of Charlotte NC, I first became interested in psychology while in undergrad. After graduating in 2005 I worked in a private hospital as a psych tech for several years before going for my Master's. My master's thesis was centered on Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment for clients with mental health and substance use disorders. From there I worked in public mental health for nearly 10 years before shifting to private practice in 2018. I have worked with many people over the years and welcome the opportunity to work with adults from all walks of life. I have also performed hundreds of mental health assessments so I am a strong diagnostician and can help clients sort out their mental health and substance use illnesses.
THE SERVICES I OFFER
I provide Individual and Family Counseling Sessions for adults 18 and over. Consultation sessions are generally used to offer assistance to those who do not have a diagnosed mental health or substance use disorder but would still like to meet with me.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
A traditional in office therapy session lasting 50 to 60 minutes. I work with adults 18 and older. Treatment can be short term and solution focused or it can be in depth and require ongoing treatment for an extended period of time. No matter what your needs we will work together to accomplish your goals and see long lasting change.
*Update* Due to COVID19 all therapy sessions will be offered via teletherapy only.
GROUP THERAPY (SUSPENDED TEMPORARILY)
I will be offering group therapy for Men* who wish to reduce or eliminate their substance use in a safe and friendly environment. Cost is $25 per session. Please call or email if you'd like to attend!
*This can include those who identify as male including Trans-Men
FAMILY SESSIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS
For a client seeing me individually, having others join for a family session can help them better connect with their primary support group and hasten recovery. These sessions can include spouses/partners, parents, adult children, extended family, and friends. I do not offer couples counseling at this time.
CONSULTATION
Don't have a mental health or substance use issue but would still like to meet with someone 1:1 to focus on your goals? Consultation can be used to focus your mind, achieve life goals, or just have a safe place to talk. I also consult with family members of those with addiction to get treatment options and to learn how to support their loved one more effectively.
