Ashburn Psychological Services was founded in 2005 by Dr. Michael Oberschneider. The practice has been well received by area professionals and families and has grown to be the home of some of the area's leading psychiatrists and psychologists. We are here to address your needs.
Professional counselor since 1993. I worked as a public mental health clinician 1994-2000. Although grounded in counselling & psychotherapy methods (cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic, family & brief therapy models), I specialize in cutting edge mind/body/energy/spirit modalities.
"Everyday is about becoming"
I believe that going through a process of self-reflection and change is powerful and brave. It helps us identify how we are getting in our own way in having a better quality of life. In responsibility their is power. Everyone wants to feel content and satisfied with themselves and the world they build around them but we struggle to achieve this goal because we have been hurt, disappointed, betrayed, or doubt ourselves. Find your personal power and change your world. I am with you.
Therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist. You work together to find the causes of problems, as well as create solutions and strategies for resolving them. You end up with peace of mind and the ability to reconnect with the people close to you.
I provide professional, results-oriented counseling with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a method that more quickly and effectively brings about positive changes. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also work extensively with couples and family members on relationship issues.
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.
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.
As a licensed clinical psychologist for 20+ years, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I work hard to establish and maintain a relationship based on mutual trust and honesty. We can work together to help you feel less stuck, and more in control.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Traumatologist and a Nationally Certified Counselor who specializes in mood and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, multicultural counseling, relationship issues and problems associated with emotional and physical abuse.
Personal set-backs and conflictual relationships are common problems that we all can face at some point in our lives. My approach is respectful and compassionate. I have doctoral level clinical training, research experience, several publications, and am adjunct faculty at Virginia Tech.
A human being, by nature, is full of contradictions. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is essential to the therapy process. The experience of "feeling" seen, or felt, or heard, is the beginning of healing. Knowing that while you are unique, you are not alone.
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC, CCPA) and a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO). I am registered with the OACCPP as well. I am an EAP Counsellor with Aspiria and Optima LifeWorks, I have BlueCross-Medavie, Green Shield, and Sunlife/Manulife (with OACCPP plans). Now direct billing for Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) and Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program (IRS RHSP) for First Nations and Indigenous Persons.
I believe we are all a work in progress and asking for help when stuck is a sign of strength and resourcefulness. I meet this with respect and compassion. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression or conflict, we work together toward regaining a sense of wellbeing.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. Through an authentic and holistic partnership with each client, I strive to educate and empower clients to build upon their strengths, identify their purpose, and achieve their life goals.
Allow me to help you obtain the healing you need and give you the tools necessary to make the changes you desire. My clients describe my psychotherapy as 'motivational', 'honest' and 'full of experience and coming from many different perspectives'. I have been a psychotherapist for over ten years.
We believe that focusing on wellness instead of illness is an important part of counseling. We do not believe in simply giving advice, but rather walking with the client through their concerns, helping them to build upon their strengths, and building a larger toolbox of coping skills to manage their unique situation. Our backgrounds include helping individuals ages 5 through late adulthood who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, grief, life changes, chronic illness, ADHD, behavioral disorders, addiction, personality disorders, and severe mental illnesses by using evidence-based practices.
We are especially passionate about working with the LGBT population, adolescents, adults, and families to help address parenting concerns and challenges in addition to working with concerns with depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, grief, life changes, chronic illness, ADHD, behavioral disorders, addiction, personality disorders, and severe mental illness.
Message us for more information about LGBT+ youth support groups as well as LGBT+ parent support groups.
My practice started in Hawaii and since then I have moved to Florida. I bring the isles to the mainland and provide therapy in many manners. I am 63 years old and have lived all over the USA. I had heard it all and do not get excited nor afraid of anything I hear. I understand and give love to all.
Most therapy fails. Not because therapy does not work, but because of the theory and techniques used. The right therapist with the right theory can be life-changing. Call for a free consultaton. I encourage you to invest in yourself and your own happiness. I would welcome the opportunity to help you in your journey. I work well with people who are struggling, but motivated, to make changes in their life. I provide a warm, caring and supportive environment in which to explore challenges and obstacles and work toward overcoming them.
What would you like to change in your life? What is standing in the way of making it happen? I'd like to help you uncover your blocks and achieve lasting success change and growth in your life.
I love working with those who want to improve their lives. It is my goal to make therapy as relaxing as possible while addressing the key issues and concerns which need work. Each of our sessions will center on the mission we set out to accomplish, and while time and patience are essential I know that through treatment you will find a higher wellbeing.
