MEET OUR COUNSELORS
----------- Board Certified Christian Counselor
ELVA CHASE, BCCC
Welcome, I am Elva Chase, a Board-Certified Christian Counselor dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families find healing, restoration, and hope through compassionate, faith-based counseling. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology with a concentration in Christian Counseling, and I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Christian Counseling and Psychology (CPsy.D).
My counseling approach integrates Christian principles, biblical truth, prayer, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to help clients move toward growth, clarity, and emotional wellness. Sessions are grounded in empathy, encouragement, practical tools, and spiritual support. Prayer is offered before and after each session, and clients are often given reflective homework assignments and biblical applications to support continued healing outside of counseling.
I provide counseling support in the areas of individual and marriage/couples counseling, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse recovery, grief, and adolescent concerns. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence and faith.
In addition to counseling, I am the owner of Esquire Publications, a book publishing company that has been operating for nearly 20 years. I am also the Founder and President of Precious Hearts Foundation, a domestic violence agency committed to supporting and advocating for survivors and families in need for almost two decades.
I believe healing is possible through faith, intentional support, and practical guidance. It is an honor to walk alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging seasons, helping them rediscover strength, purpose, and peace.

Domestic Violence and Abuse Recovery

Couples &
Marriage Counseling
The power of love and open communication can completely transform a relationship. I offer a safe, supportive space where couples can explore challenges, deepen connection, and strengthen their bond. Whether you're navigating conflict or simply looking to enrich your partnership, I'm here to walk alongside you on the path to a healthier, more fulfilling relationship. Together, we’ll help you build lasting trust, understanding, and a foundation that endures.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
(NPD Therapy)
My own experiences drove me to study narcissistic abuse and understand the complexities surrounding it. I now work as an advocate and speaker, committed to sharing my findings and prevent others from experiencing the same pain that I did. I offer support to anyone who has been a victim of abuse and empower them with the tools they need to move on from the experience. If you have been affected by narcissistic abuse, know that you are not alone. Reach out for help today!
Domestic Violence Abuse Counseling
My personal experience with domestic violence has given me the determination to help others facing similar situations. Domestic violence is a devastating reality for many individuals, and I am here to help. I understand how difficult it can be to leave an abusive relationship. That is why I am dedicated to providing survivors with the resources, tools and support they need to break the cycle of abuse and rebuild their lives.
AMBER C. CHASE, BCCC, CCLC
----------- Board Certified Christian Counselor & Certified Christian Life Coach
Hello! I am Amber C. Chase, a Board-Certified Christian Counselor, Certified Christian Life Coach, educator, and founder of Foundations in Faith & Learning™. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Christian Counseling, and I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Christian Counseling and Psychology (CPsyD).
My passion for Christian counseling comes from a desire to help children, teens, adults, and families feel heard, supported, and hopeful as they navigate life’s challenges. With more than 15 years of experience serving children, adolescents, and families in educational, mentoring, and faith-based settings, I bring compassion and practical guidance to each relationship.
My approach integrates biblical truth, Christian principles, prayer, and evidence-informed counseling strategies to support emotional wellness, healthy relationships, resilience, and spiritual growth.
Whether a child is struggling with confidence, a teen is navigating difficult relationships, or an individual is facing anxiety, grief, trauma, or a life transition, I tailor my support to their needs and goals. I believe people grow when they have a safe place to share what they are experiencing and the tools to take meaningful steps forward.
Through Foundations in Faith & Learning™, I bring that same individualized care to education. I provide educational consulting, academic planning, comprehensive academic assessments, personalized Christian curriculum development, homeschool instruction, and tutoring for students across all grades and skill levels.
After assessing a student’s strengths, academic needs, and current skill levels, I create a grade-level curriculum tailored to how that child learns. I support parents who want to homeschool their children and families who would like me to serve as their homeschool teacher.
In my educational work, I combine evidence-informed teaching strategies with social-emotional learning and biblical principles. My goal is to help students strengthen academic skills, build confidence and character, and develop a lasting love of learning.
Whether I am counseling a family or supporting a student’s education, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside them as they grow in faith, hope, and confidence.
