Ameenah Ikram

Psychologist, Psy.D.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ameenah Ikram, and I’m a clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people heal, grow, and live in alignment with their values. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore your experiences, emotions, and challenges. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your story and finding new ways to move forward. I use evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP) to help you process your emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop skills for managing life’s difficulties. I especially enjoy working with individuals who may be navigating relationship challenges, emotional struggles, or identity issues. I’m also passionate about women’s health and work closely with women experiencing perinatal mood disorders, reproductive health concerns, and trauma related to pregnancy or birth. I understand that each person’s journey is unique, and I value the opportunity to tailor therapy to fit your individual needs. I approach therapy with cultural humility and a deep respect for your background, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression and multicultural issues. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, process past traumas, and find ways to build the life you want. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe that you are the expert in your life, and my role is to support you in discovering the tools and insights that will help you live more fully. Let’s work together to help you feel more empowered, more connected, and more hopeful about your future.

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.

Hope I. Hills, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist in NC, Authorized PsyPact Practitioner in 40 states

I have been a licensed therapist since 1987 when I was a professor of Counseling Psychology at the University of Missouri. I've continued to help my clients learn to love and accept themselves, whether in individual or couples therapy, executives and their teams, or women in prison. I pay attention to Body, Mind, and Spirit as we work, as I believe we must recognize the interaction of all three. Clients comment that despite feeling safe with me, they feel challenged to face themselves.

Patricia Tuohy

Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist

Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I am so happy you decided to take the most difficult step and reach out for support! I wish more people realized that they didn’t have to continue to live day to day struggling to make it through. People usually come to me because they are experiencing anxiety, panic, sleeplessness, depression and perhaps other symptoms like flashbacks or nightmares. Their relationships are suffering and they are having a difficult time functioning at home and work. Most times, they have been feeling this way for so long that they can’t imagine a life of feeling peaceful, calm and happy. What would it be like to wake up and feel good? To have energy, be able to get a good restorative nights sleep and feel emotionally stable and well? What would it be like to not constantly be triggered and have knee jerk emotional reactions that you may or may not understand? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to focus on the things that matter most in life and the reason you are really here on this earth?
