See Clearly. Think Freely.
Dr. Chase Conrad
Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Life Strategist Consultant.
Welcome and thank you for visiting. Please give my site a thoughtful review. I spent a good portion of time trying to paint an accurate picture of what I can offer. If you feel, we could be a match please reach out and let’s get in touch.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience in academic hospital, and clinical settings. I am licensed to practice in the states of Hawaii, Florida, and Michigan.
My Approach to therapy and consulting combines insight-based therapy with principles from Eastern and Western psychology. I believe in building upon individual strengths, shifting perceptions, and fostering personal acceptance of life’s changes.
My goal for clients are ambitious: beyond symptom relief and alleviating pain, I aim to facilitate personal and professional growth and core character change.
Note: I exclusively work with adults aged 18 and older. Telehealth video or phone call only.

Clinical Approaches - Counseling vs Consulting
Therapeutic Counseling – A psychologist offers a supportive, therapeutic relationship within the boundaries of a doctor-client relationship, stimulating thought through Socratic dialogue and encouraging self-awareness rather than providing direct guidance. The principle in therapy is that the realizations made by the client are always more powerful than any imparted by the therapist.
Life Strategist Consulting -As a mental health expert, consulting (vs counseling) allows for feedback and guidance in a variety of life areas. Life Strategic Consulting allows for a more straightforward, no B/S tone in the conversation. This is aimed at optimizing performance or achieving clear objectives when navigating professional and personal life transitions and quality of life issues. There is no doctor/client relationship.
Clinical Specialties
Depression, Anxiety and Trauma
Depression, anxiety, and trauma are common because they are natural responses to stress, loss, and overwhelming experiences, which are unavoidable parts of life. Modern pressures, social isolation, and past experiences often amplify these struggles, making them widespread across all populations.
Interpersonal and social issues are common as people navigate relationships, self-perception, and life direction. Challenges with communication, relationships, self-esteem, and finding purpose often stem from past experiences, societal expectations, or internal doubts, impacting overall well-being.
Interpersonal and Social Issues
Collective mental health recognizes the unique psychological challenges different groups face. I have extensive experience in senior mental health, men’s mental health, and multicultural communities, all of which often encounter stigma, identity struggles, and barriers to care that shape their well-being.
Collective Mental Health
Some of the best outcomes I have are with clients who use sessions as a weekly check-in to generate momentum. These discussions provide an opportunity to process the week or address situations before they develop into major issues. they allow clients to stay ahead of challenges, learning to use therapy not just to solve problems but to prevent them.
High Visibility & Achieving Adults
Autism is characterized by deficits in social and communication and emotional recognition. These deficits can be accompanied by sensory and emotional overload and exhaustion. Autistic individuals learn to use their unique strengths of pragmatic bottom up thinking to become more adaptable in different social settings, improve social skills and diminish frequency of breakdowns & meltdowns.
High Masking Low Needs Autistic Adults
Digital creators and media personalities must manage the unique pressures of public life, such as handling criticism, preventing burnout, and staying authentic while growing their brand. I can provide a safe space to build emotional resilience, navigate projections, help set healthy boundaries, and help you maintain balance in a demanding, high-visibility.
