Helping Ambitious Women Reclaim Peace, Power, and Purpose

Virtual Mental Health Counseling across North Carolina and South Carolina.

Overcoming Life’s Challenges

  • Support for new moms who are carrying more than just the baby — you're not alone.

    Are you having trouble focusing?

  • Therapy for pregnant and postpartum women feeling anxious, depleted, or unseen.

    Are you struggling to manage it all?

  • Specialized perinatal counseling for moms navigating anxiety, identity shifts, and postpartum overwhelm.

    Are you feeling distant from your partner?

I use the phrase “climbing mountains” to discuss big challenges we must overcome. I also like recognizing the smaller challenges we face daily and how we navigate them. The name “Climbing Hills Counseling” represents my passion for supporting clients in the small (and big) life challenges they might face.

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, ease the anxiety, and help you feel more like you again.

Surviving and Not 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 constantly be in 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.

Address the issues you have been avoiding.

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 can bring your whole self, feel truly supported, and finally start working toward the goals you’ve been quietly carrying for far too long.

Feel Heard

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

Your experiences and perspectives matter.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist dedicated to social justice and celebrating diversity in all its forms. Together, we will work toward your goals, improve your quality of life, and foster healing through greater self-awareness and insight.

If you have any questions about me or the therapy process, feel free to reach out by phone or email before scheduling your first appointment.

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