Mental Health Practice – Salem Trauma Therapy
Salem Trauma Therapy is a mental health practice serving clients in Oregon and Washington State. The practice is led by Heather Chase and concentrates on trauma treatment and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) therapy as its two primary clinical specialties, distinguishing it from general-purpose counseling practices in the Salem, Oregon area.
Trauma therapy at the practice is delivered through Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based protocol developed specifically for trauma-related conditions. OCD treatment is provided through Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (IB-CBT), a structured approach that addresses the reasoning processes underlying OCD symptoms. These modalities anchor the clinical work, and the practice also addresses anxiety and depression within the broader scope of individual and group treatment.
Services include individual therapy, group therapy programming, and clinical supervision for other licensed mental health professionals. The practice’s stated mission focuses on helping clients discover their own capacity to heal and develop trust in themselves, reflecting an orientation toward building client self-efficacy alongside symptom-focused treatment.
Both in-person and telehealth session formats are available. The website provides access to a secure client portal for remote session entry and account management. A frequently asked questions section and a resources page are accessible through the site’s navigation for prospective and current clients. Contact information is also available through the website.
Specific clinician credentials, license types, and license numbers held by Heather Chase are not detailed on the homepage. Insurance acceptance, self-pay rates, session fees, and detailed scheduling policies are not listed on the main page; prospective clients are directed to the FAQ section or to contact the practice directly for that information. The practice’s year of establishment is not stated on the website.
Chase’s practice serves Oregon and Washington State with a focused clinical niche in trauma and OCD, supplemented by clinical supervision services for other providers in the region. The dual-state service area and availability of both in-person and telehealth formats extend the practice’s reach beyond the immediate Salem area to clients who may not have access to CPT or IB-CBT specialists locally.
