I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am providing individual counseling at a small health center. I've been here for 9 yrs. Prior to that I worked in an OP clinic working with very ill population. I was a crisis worker for 10 yrs prior to that. I've worked in the city and now in rural health care. I feel so grateful to be doing this work and listening to peoples personal stories. I also start where the client is at and I practice with transparency regarding my assessment and recommendations. I always use CBT to one degree or another. I aid people in changing problem saturated stories and finding a more positive lens. I look for change language and try to build on that. I am a level II EMDR trained therapist so I do a fair share of trauma work. I find that we are all more alike than we are different and I can always connect with people at some level. I never claim to have the answers, but I always give 100% to support and encourage change.

Barbara is such a great counselor to say the least. She was quick to understand my situation, concerns, and needs. She always reminds me to stay present in the moment and to be in the now. She is able to calm me down when I have anxiety and depression. Her feedback is valuable. She’s very patient and makes sure that I shared everything I wanted to share before the session is over, so I don’t miss anything. Barbara Chase is an amazing counselor. I am happy with the counseling sessions that I got with her. I highly recommend her.

Barbara has been immensely helpful to me! She is real with me, kind, empathetic- and encourages me to think about things in a different light. She has really challenged me in all the right ways and has been SUCH a big part of my healing!
