Robert Chase, PhD
Robert Chase, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and clinical neuropsychologist with over 30 years of experience in working with adults, as well as with children, adolescents, and their families. He incorporates his neuropsychological background into his therapy to help his clients understand how their brain works and what methods to use to address depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, motivation difficulties, OCD behaviors, specific phobias and panic attacks, and symptoms of ADHD. Dr. Chase’s goal is to develop a strong and trusting relationship in which his clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely valued and understood.
Dr. Chase helps clients understand their issues as part of normal human experience (whatever your problems, you are far from alone and in good company). To reduce unnecessary feelings of anxiety and shame, and to increase self-compassion, it’s important that clients see their concerns for what they are: life problems, complicated by unhealthy coping skills.
Dr. Chase focuses on changing the automatic/unconscious emotional and motivational issues that keep us “stuck”. A crucial part of his therapeutic approach is doing direct emotional and motivational work (through relaxation training and conversational hypnosis). He works to make rapid and lasting change with his clients.

Dr. Chase earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Vassar College and went on to earn his doctorate in psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He later did a postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology at the JFK-Johnson Rehabilitation Institute.
