    Anxiety

Some life challenges feel like mountains you can’t imagine scaling. Others show up as everyday hills, still exhausting in their own way. At Climbing Hills Counseling, you don’t have to climb them alone. Together, we’ll find a steady footing, build resilience, and create a path forward that feels possible.

Reach Your Full Potential

Hi, I’m Dr. Lauren Chase, founder of Climbing Hills Counseling. I help high-achieving women boost their self-esteem, overcome anxiety and self-doubt, and unlock their full potential.

Sit Down and Vent

Come sit down on your favorite chair, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let’s talk about the pressure you’ve been carrying, including the constant juggling of work, parenting, relationships, and everything in between.

Balancing multiple roles and responsibilities can be so exhausting!

Whether you're joining between meetings or during naptime, we’ll work together to quiet the self-doubt and ease the anxiety. Let’s help you feel more like yourself again.

Go From Surviving To Thriving

  • Helping moms and professionals break free from perfectionism and reclaim their peace.

    As a fellow beautifully anxious person, I understand what it’s like to live in constant survival mode, always anticipating the next challenge and struggling to enjoy your achievements because it’s hard to feel “good enough.”

  • Supportive, evidence-based therapy for ambitious women overwhelmed by life’s pressures.

    Let’s work together to quiet that anxiety, stop the people-pleasing, and silence that bully in your head telling you that you’re just not “enough.”

Push Yourself

You can overcome your challenges and reconnect with your true self. Sometimes, though, we all need a little guidance and a push up the hill to get there.

By understanding the “how” and “why” behind our behaviors, we can become brave enough to break free from old patterns and start creating a life that feels more aligned, fulfilling, and authentic.

Be You

I believe therapy should feel approachable, empowering, and rooted in authenticity.

Come as you are, messy, tired, driven, unsure. You don’t need to have it all figured out.

Together, we’ll create a space where you’re fully seen and supported while you work toward the goals you’ve carried for too long.

Feel Heard

We want you to feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether it’s finding the courage to speak up at work or at home, or setting boundaries that actually stick, we’ll help you communicate your needs with clarity and confidence.

Your experiences and perspectives matter.

As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist dedicated to social justice and honoring diversity, I will support you in reaching your goals, improving your quality of life, and fostering healing through greater self-awareness and insight.

Have questions before getting started? Feel free to reach out by phone or email.

If this resonates with you, let’s schedule a session to begin working together to break these patterns.
