kinda want one.. kinda don't. really not sure of what i have to offer a woman at this point in my life. really not sure if i am comfortable with the idea of coupling again. really not sure if i should stake so much happiness in relationships in general. i do however feel that love is real, i've just no idea what it is in it's purest form. women have a tendency to hurt me ( i know everyone gets hurt) really really bad. i've yet to have a successful relationship with another woman. i think i am too simple for them. my spartan living does not suit their palette. i guess i just want a girl who's down to earth and confident in herself. someone with a kind heart and a healthy distrust of mainstream normalcy. a girl i can go to a punk show with, discuss existentialism with, have a beer with, read with and make love to.. yet sadly all i ever meet are girls who are hipsters, jet set self-centered faux-hawked pseudo subversive types who rely on sarcasm and mistake it for wit far too often..it's the plasticity of people, specifically young lesbians of my age that make me question relationships in general. sometimes i wonder if a life of celibacy would be a more healthy decision, as my view of love and recieving it and deserving it is slightly scewed because of my depression, anxiety, an overall general isolation. im not sure if any of this has a pouint. on this particular subject i remain as ambivalent as i have always been on almost everything. what a lonely young dyke to do. i guess for right now i should just get myself together so that if and when she comes along i'll be healthy independent of our union. i guess that really is the truth of it. so strange, wish i could make my mind..

Dr. Chase emphasizes creating a supportive and interactive therapeutic environment that encourages self-exploration, reflection, and problem-solving. She combines compassion, strong attunement, and a sense of humor in her work.

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.
My sensitive and engaging, direct and practical, style is reported by my clients as one of their attractions to working with me. I work with Children, Adolescents and Adults, addressing ADHD, depression and anxiety, divorce, loss and medical trauma. . I would be honored with your trust in me.

Are you tired of worrying all the time? Stress and anxiety can be exhausting. If you're overwhelmed, let us help. We often help clients who struggle with anxiety, low self esteem, depression, relationship issues (such as communication, trust, intimacy or infidelity) or family issues to feel better.
I have had the privilege throughout my nearly 9 years of work in the mental health field to help the entire lifespan, but I have a passion mostly for marginalized communities, relationship/familial conflict, and other intergenerational issues. From my perspective, therapy should involve collaboration and consent; meaning the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as a influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I also believe that mental health services belong to all people, no matter their socioeconomic background or ethnicity. Everyone and anyone can benefit from being truly seen and heard.
I am an LCSW in Richmond, Virginia that specializes in providing outpatient counseling to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and/or their families/caregivers. As your therapist, I aim to create a safe space where we can work together to reduce stressors, learn coping skills/resources and see growth as you gain confidence in your path forward.
Are you experiencing more stress and anxiety than ever before? Are there massive changes underway in your life that are keeping you up at night?

But you’ve handled things this way before, and you are convinced that it’s time for a change.
Everyone struggles at some time or another. That's life. And when the struggle becomes unmanageable, that's where I come in. As a sensorimotor trained therapist I offer a calming, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to explore your struggles. Part of that exploration may involve how your past intrudes upon your present, and your future. We work together to make sense of what is troubling you so you can become empowered to make the changes that will benefit your life. Are you worth that exploration and making those changes? Absolutely! I look forward to connecting with you.

Hey there,
Read your blog-thought I would say hi.
It is probably a good idea to work on yourself before getting into a relationship (even if you really really want to be in one) because if you don't deal with the junk now-you bring the junk with ya. Dealing with junk and trying to maintain a relationship at the same time is hard to do-not impossible but very hard.
If you are looking for the femme that actually has a brain and chooses to us it, well they are hard to find, but they do exist. I know a few of them actually.
well anyway, I'm online alot if you want to vent-or have someone to discuss a book with.
