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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Life has never been easy on you. You witnessed and felt injustice and pain from an early age and dreamed of a knight in shining armor coming to the rescue. You learned quickly that the world is an unpredictable and unsafe place. As a result, you wanted nothing more but make it better and be that knight in shining armor. If not you, who?
Through life, you found yourself feeling most alive and good about yourself serving others, in the heat of the battle and in the eye of a crisis. Your deep empathy for others and strong need to rescue and shield others is inseparable from who you are; it is the only way you’ve ever known to connect with the world. You also find yourself in relationships with people that need “rescuing.” You jump right into the heart of the fire and keep yourself busy carrying the whole world on your shoulders and keeping it safe. But as your body and mind keep score of all the things you’ve felt and witnessed, your armor starts weighing heavy on you. When things are quiet and there are no battles to fight or innocents to rescue, memories creep in. The pain you felt and saw resurfaces seemingly out of nowhere and floods your mind and hijacks your body. Nightmares steal your sleep and connecting with family and friends gets more and more difficult because “they won’t understand.” To deal with this you keep distant, ever-vigilant and restless, using work or an occasional drink to numb yourself and stay exhausted so you don’t have to have to think and feel. Your fuse gets shorter and shorter, leaving you feeling crushed, irritable and overwhelmed with guilt, regret and the fear of failure.
Are you that fierce warrior or selfless healer who saves and serves others, but feels your own needs can wait? Are you this man or woman who believes everyone deserves help but them? If you find yourself struggling and exhausted, hiding your wounds and feeling alone, with me you will find help.
For the last ten years I’ve helped people regain a sense of safety and joy for those whose lives are hijacked by trauma they experienced, such as combat stress, grief and loss, sexual assault, childhood abuse, and domestic, family and community violence. An US Air Force clinician and veteran, I’m keenly attuned to the unique needs of military members, first responders and helping-professionals, and how issues related to military trauma, burnout, compassion fatigue, survivor guilt and family reintegration can affect their well-being. I provide in-person and online (video) individual psychotherapy, couples’ therapy, pre-marital counseling as well as assertiveness training and career coaching.
Using the most effective trauma therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (a fancy term for therapy that’s known as one of the most effective trauma treatments with an 80% success rate) I help people reclaim their lives from the grip of trauma and find balance and self-compassion. Are you ready to find ways to feel connected, important, understood, and cared for by others without neglecting your own individual needs?

I am a Solution Focused licensed psychologist providing counseling and psychotherapy for adults, children, adolescents, couples, & families. Having suffered and recovered from many of the disorders I treat, I understand both personally and professionally what it takes to recover and feel better.
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 will always be sensitive to your needs while we work to deeply understand who you are, what is going on for you, and what you want. I will fully listen to you in a safe place with zero judgement, as we bring awareness to your issues and discover solutions. Feelings of shame, confusion and guilt will be resolved together, as I will challenge your thoughts to develop more balanced thinking and guide you to understand and express your emotions.
It takes courage to ask for help, thus I see all clients as strong and capable of change, otherwise they would not be in my office. My commitment is to meet you where you're at and to help you feel safe exploring whatever you're struggling with. I can teach you skills for developing boundaries, regulating your emotions, communicating more effectively, and much more. I will support you to achieve your goals and to build self-compassion and self-reliance.
I work hard to put my self out of a job with every client. I work to get everyone to the point where they say, "I'll take it from here, Dr. John." When I've done my job of helping clients deal with their concerns, give the tools to deal with future concerns, and increase the hope that the concerns can continue to be resolved away from my office, clients are ready to continue "without the net." If they get stuck on something, they come back in for a quick "unstuck" and go back out to take on the world.
My practice is Anchored By Hope LLC and I want to help you and/or your loved one regain hope in life and increase the quality and well being of life in a relaxed, professional setting. I also have a passion for teenagers and am willing to hold and break though their barriers to get to the root of issues.
