Jeannette Craigfeld
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I tend to work particularly well with clients who struggle with being compassionate towards themselves and have spent much of their life focused on what others expect of them, getting further away from their own inner voice. My aim is to help clients discover and embrace their authentic selves so they can pursue what they truly value in life. My therapy style is strengths-based, collaborative, and flexible, integrating multiple approaches to therapy. I am excited to get to know you as an individual and figure out what approach to therapy will best fit your unique needs. I know that reaching out for therapy can be a vulnerable experience. I hope you are giving yourself credit for taking this first step.

Baumann Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
I am passionate about helping clients improve their well-being, their relationships, and their overall functioning. Together, my clients and I develop a deeper understanding of what they would like their life to look like and what is getting in the way. As we progress in therapy, we will build on personal strengths that clients bring to their own lives as well as shed light on areas that could be impacting their mental health concerns. I work from a bio-psycho-social perspective, which seeks to understand biological, psychological, and social factors that are impacting functioning as well as implement treatment to both alleviate and reduce overall distress or impairment. Together, we build tools to help the client thrive.

Dr. Lauren Chase
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH
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 overcome them. The name “Climbing Hills Counseling” represents my passion for supporting women in the small (and big) life challenges they might face.
Hi, I am Dr. Lauren Chase, the founder of Climbing Hills Counseling. I help high-achieving women and girls raise their self-esteem, overcome anxiety and self-doubt, and reach their full potential.
Come sit down on your favorite chair, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let’s talk about the stress with work, friends, school, or relationships you have been experiencing. Balancing multiple roles and responsibilities can be so exhausting! Whether you are in your favorite workout leggings or business casual trousers, we can work together towards your goals.
As a fellow beautifully anxious person, I understand what it is like to exist in constant survival mode until the next challenge and not enjoying your accomplishments because it is hard to feel “good enough.”
Let’s work together to fight that anxiety, people-pleasing, and that bully in your head telling you that you’re just not “enough.”
I believe that you can overcome your challenges and be your true self, but sometimes we need a little guidance and push up the hill.
Once we understand, “how” and “why” we do what we do, we can become brave enough to break these patterns and start living life differently.
I believe in approachability, authenticity, and empowerment in the counseling process.
Feel comfortable coming as you are.
Bring your whole self to the session.
Throughout the counseling process, you will feel empowered to work towards those goals you have been pushing to the side.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.
