*More About Tara Chase*
Ultimately, my greatest reward as a mental health and addiction counselor is witnessing the transformation of my clients as they progress towards greater mental well-being and healthier life. I am deeply committed to advocating for overall well-being, not only during our sessions but also in each client’s daily life.
*What to Expect From Our Work Together*
I firmly believe that every individual’s journey is unique, and I approach each client with an open heart and a non-judgmental attitude. Recognizing the courage it takes to seek help and embark on the path of healing, I strive to foster a personal connection with each individual, ensuring that they feel seen, heard, and valued. By building this trust and rapport, I aim to create a therapeutic alliance that serves as the foundation for meaningful progress and positive change. My desire as a counselor is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to providing personalized care for those facing mental health and addictive issues.
In my practice, I draw upon evidence-based therapeutic modalities while also tailoring my approach to address the specific needs and circumstances of each client. I believe in the power of active listening, and I use this skill to gain a deeper understanding of my client’s struggles, experiences, and aspirations.
