Dr. Marsha Chase, LMFT
About me
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Pennsylvania with over 8 years of experience working in family homes, residential setting, school setting, and outpatient settings. Clients have reached out to me for a wide range of reasons including depression, anxiety, attachment disorders, personality disorders, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, and personality characteristics. I have specialized in working with clients who struggle with attachment disruptions and trauma and abuse.
My counseling style is caring and interactive. I believe that a therapist should be able to empathize, be genuine, and treats clients with unconditional positive regard. Every client is unique and should be treated as such. I will work to get to know you personally to develop the most personalized plan for you combining a humanistic, personal centered, cognitive behavioral and solution focused approach.
My goal is to help you work through whatever challenges you may be faced with while helping you to develop skills to manage other difficulties as they arise. I want to be able to give you a time and a place to feel safe and secure exploring those challenges so you can identify what it is you need and how you can meet those needs. I work with you so that you can feel better about yourself and where you are in life. It takes courage to accept there are challenges and it takes motivation to begin to explore and process those challenges and struggles.
When you are ready to begin the journey in your life, I will be ready to walk that journey with you.
I look forward to talking to you soon.

Dr. Chase is fantastic! I’ve made so much progress since I have been working with her. She listens to me and tailors my therapy to my needs. She makes me feel heard and validates my feelings.
She’s compassionate and honest and puts you at ease. She’s flexible and will change what we’re working on based on my needs that session. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
