Carol Chase, LMHC doing therapy for 9 years. I have had varied experience such as working with homeless addicted men, doing IOP groups in a large mental health agency, working in private practice and doing telehealth since COVID as well as with Military OneSource with veterans and their families.
I graduated from Valparaiso University some many years ago and was a career high school teacher; I also spent 3 years in Sante Fe, NM becoming a massage therapist and working at a world famous spa there. Then later in life graduated from Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies in 2013. My life experience and my varied education has allowed me to relate to many personalities and problems.
My passion for my life’s work is helping clients meet their goals for change in work, mental health, self esteem and self love, codependency, and relationships. I have a specialty in addiction studies and have a personal story that allows me to relate to addicts and alcoholics.
My therapeutic approach is client centered and client driven so that my specialties in CBT, DBT, EMDR, Mindulness,12 Step Facilitation make for a toolbox that is individualized and effective.

Carol is very supportive and has a very calming and understanding manner. I'm very glad that she's my therapist and that I have a comfortable, safe space to talk about things.

Mrs.Chase is a wonderful listener & has giving me advice like a mother! I’m enjoying my sessions & I look forward chatting (video) with Mrs.Chase once a week! This is my first therapy experience but it’s been quit helpful I must say.

A great therapist who focuses on helping her clients in a way that most suits them. She has educated me on much.

Carol Chase has been tremendous. I marked a 9 on a couple of questions because my situation has altered. My wife recently found out she is on the spectrum. So my situation has slightly changed and I perhaps need to speak with someone who is trained in couples where one is neuro-typical and the other is on the spectrum. I believe Carol said she wasn’t very familiar in this. But again, she has been wonderful.
