Helping Ambitious Women Reclaim Peace, Power, and Purpose
even when your life looks polished, the inner climb can feel chaotic and exhausting. you don’t have to carry that weight alone.
At Climbing Hills Counseling, we help you find steady footing, strengthen your boundaries, and feel at ease in the life you’ve worked hard to build.
It’s hard to stay grounded when you’re stretched thin in every direction.
As a high-achieving woman, you are managing competing demands while carrying the emotional weight of your relationships, family dynamics, and impossibly high standards for yourself.
The pressure to be perfect, keep everyone happy, and stay composed adds up over time. When you factor in the current political climate and the state of the world, it’s understandable that you feel drained, overwhelmed, or emotionally numb.
You want a space where you can take off the mask. Where you do not have to perform, explain, or hold it all together.
At Climbing Hills Counseling, I help ambitious, overachieving women overcome burnout and set boundaries so they can rest without guilt and enjoy the lives they have built.
Together, we’ll build clarity, confidence, and grounded resilience so you can move through life with more ease, without losing who you are or what you value.
Hi, I’m Dr. lauren Chase.
I help high-achieving women trade internal chaos for calm, set boundaries that protect their energy, and reconnect with the joy in the life they’ve built, without sacrificing their ambition.
I specialize in supporting women who appear put-together on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside, especially those navigating political anxiety, family-of-origin wounds from emotionally immature parents, and the pressure to be “the responsible one” in every area of life.
If you are tired of holding everything together, you are in the right place.
How it works
Sit Down and Vent
Get comfortable with your favorite latte, and let’s talk about the pressure of juggling work, parenting, relationships, and everything in between.
Whether you are joining between meetings or during nap time, we will slow things down, quiet overthinking, and build boundaries to help you feel more present and like yourself again.
From Surviving to Steady
If you are constantly pushing yourself, stuck in survival mode, and struggling to enjoy your accomplishments because nothing ever feels like enough, you are not alone. When we understand the patterns behind the people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-functioning, it becomes possible to release the guilt and pressure you have been carrying for years.
be you
Therapy here is approachable, empowering, and real.
Come as you are, driven, tired, unsure. This is a space where you are supported as you learn to speak up, set limits, and show up in your life with more steadiness and confidence.
Feel heard
Your experiences and perspectives matter.
As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist committed to social justice and honoring diversity, I offer a space where women can feel safe, supported, and grounded as they move towards a calmer mind and a more authentic way of living.
