I am a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. With over a decade of professional experience, I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My approach is compassionate and holistic, focusing on areas like self-love, communication, social connections, and healing from past experiences. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, workplace stress, or seeking to understand yourself more deeply, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise. My therapeutic practice is rooted in understanding the whole person—addressing challenges across emotional, relational, and personal development domains. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and life experiences, and I'm particularly experienced in supporting young adults, women, and those navigating complex personal transitions.

I believe therapy is most helpful when it combines introspection and self-discovery with planning and action. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in exploring the "stuff" that you feel is getting in the way in your life. Once we explore the roadblocks, they become easier to navigate or overcome. This work often leads to new personal insights or changes that serve to bring you closer to your personal goals. I utilize many evidence-based therapies, depending on a person's circumstances and goals, but my favorite modalities include: acceptance & commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy. I also believe in the therapeutic benefits of animals, the outdoors, and in practicing mindfulness. I have five years experience as a therapist and hold a Master in Social Work degree and also a Master in Business Administration degree, both from the University of Kentucky. I currently work in a private practice in central Kentucky and enjoy working with adults of all ages. I am also trained in financial wellness and am a certified financial social work educator through the Center for Financial Social Work in Asheville, NC. I truly love my work as a therapist and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you!

Hello, My name is Chase Longnaker and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Kentucky. I am an experienced clinical professional with a demonstrated history of working in the mental health care industry. Some of my skill sets include leadership, provision of therapeutic services and mental health/ behavioral assessments to individuals and families experiencing PTSD, Major Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Suicide, Self-Harm, and Oppositional Defiance Disorder related symptoms. Crisis management and safety plan development, detailed treatment plan development, and organizational/ professional documentation skills in keeping detailed, confidential client records. As a LMFT professional I have had the opportunity to counsel a diverse population of clients economically, geographically, and culturally. My primary focus has been working with children (ages 7 to 11), adolescents (ages 12-17), and young adults (ages 18+). In addition to working with these age groups I also have clinical experience working with adults, marital couples, and families. Recently I obtained my CFRC Certification through Academy Hour. This certification has prepared me to work with first responder individuals (police, fire fighters, EMT, and others), their families, and their communities in the state of Kentucky. As a mental health professional, one of my primary goals is to utilize empathetic, genuine, and evidence based counseling approaches to help provide impactful changes in individuals and families. My primary areas of clinical modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy , Solutions Focused Therapy, Bowenian Family Therapy, and Basic Level EMDR Therapy. The clinical experience that I have obtained as a therapist has taught me that people are resilient and under the right circumstances and stressors have the desire and drive to change for the better. This resiliency and drive in people is where I find true passion and inspiration to serve as a mental health professional. Having the opportunity to guide clients to breakthrough moments is what makes me passionate about my job. This same passion is what also drives me to play a part in helping individuals and families process the past, heal in the present, and move towards a positive and meaningful future.
