Chae serves as an individual and group Outpatient Telehealth Therapist at the Lindner Center of HOPE. She treats late teens and adults of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations. Her therapeutic approach is person-centered, genuine, and engaging. She enjoys creating a safe, nonjudgmental, virtual therapy space to meet her clients wherever they are in their mental health journey and to support them as they work through issues and stressors that are interfering with participating in life to its fullest.

Prior to earning a master’s degree in social work from The University of Cincinnati, Chae earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from Miami University and worked as a mental health case manager. She continued to work in the mental health field in various roles as she completed her master’s program, gaining invaluable experience. She has worked in a variety of clinical settings and in all levels of care (inpatient, residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient) in Southwest Ohio and Las Vegas, Nevada.

She has expertise in addictions and trauma. She incorporates EMDR, CBT, DBT, and ACT into her mindful, body-centric and holistic therapeutic approach. As a lifetime learner, her areas of interest are expansive and ever-growing. They include, but are not limited to, serving the LGBTQ+ community, adult ADHD, chronic and invisible medical conditions, perimenopause, relationship issues (boundaries and communication), body image, and religious trauma.
