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.
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 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.
"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.
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.
Therapy is an investment in yourself. The best therapeutic relationship is a partnership with common goals. With over 25 years experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, Ms. Ryan has worked with diverse client populations and diagnoses. Please call for a confidential phone consultation.

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.
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.
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.
My approach to counseling is that each individual has the potential within them to accomplish anything. My job is to help you realize that potential and to make peace with the issues that you face. Notice I never said anything about “getting over” what you have going on, because I believe that there are some things that make that impossible. But, I believe that if you are willing to work with me to achieve your goals, you can achieve the recovery you truly want
My journey to the present day has been unconventional to say the least. I’ve worked in the mental health field since graduating with my Master’s Degree in 2007. I’ve worked with many different populations in many different settings. Most recently I have been working with clients who desired to end their lives, or who were too sick to go about their daily lives. I’ve also supervised others, taught at a college level, and made presentations to other professionals. In the real world, I’ve worked in the medical field, customer service, and I’ve owned my own business. I believe this varied experience allows me to be more emphatic as well as take a more common sense approach to treatment.
I invite you to take a step toward something difficult and do something that is good for you. You always have the opportunity to go back to the way things were; that isn’t challenging in the least.

Applying years of experience in a variety of settings along with the most evidence based approaches I work to assist you in getting back on track. Whether you feel like you can't handle life's stressors or are affected by anxiety, depression, substance use, communication issues, intellectual/learning disabilities, mood swings, or another mental health concern there are skills, abilities, and strategies that together we can unlock so that you may be your best self every day.
As a new professional in the mental health counseling field, I offer determination, patience, excitement, and a genuine nature. I have life experience including being a mother, cancer caretaker, grief and loss of a child, mid-life career change, life adjustments, divorce, and much more.
Welcome! It is my belief that it is normal in our lives to feel conflict, sadness, anger, or distress. It’s when these feelings and behaviors start to impact our lives in a negative way that we may need extra support in sorting through what it means. Counseling is not about me telling you what to do, but instead, joining you on your journey and guiding you in your discoveries to what solutions or outcome is best suited for you. I offer a judgement and bias free supportive environment to help you reach your best you.
