In Pursuit Counseling

Carly Nevarez
Carly is the steady thread at the center of In Pursuit Counseling. Someone who notices the small, telling details and makes space for them to matter. With nearly a decade in community mental health and private practice, she blends Narrative Therapy and attachment-focused work to help people rewrite the parts of their story that keep them stuck.
Her approach feels like a deep breath in the middle of the noise: calm, careful, and quietly hopeful. She’s here to do the hard work with you and to celebrate the change that follows.

Chase Manke
Chase brings a curious and compassionate presence to the room—someone who notices the subtle, overlooked places where feeling lives. He shows up open, engaged and ready to learn from you, trusting that you already have a deep knowing about your own life.
Together, you’ll build mutual trust and make space to notice, explore and tend to what truly matters—turning small discoveries into steadier and more meaningful ways of living.
You’re in the middle of it,
and that’s okay.
Like a deep breath in the middle of chaos, it brings a little, room to breathe and begin again.
Some kind words from clients
We came to Carly thinking we needed big fixes. Turns out it was the little things that mattered, the way we listened, the questions we did not know how to ask. A few months in and we actually talk differently. Not perfect, but better. Thank you.
Yes, working with Chase felt… a bit different, but in a good way. Such a good way. He would ask me where I felt something in my body and that one question opened up so much?? I learned small things I can do when I’m overwhelmed and I don’t feel as alone. Feeling quite grateful here.
I was nervous about therapy over video but it ended up feeling nice and easy. I still have my rough days, but I’ve got some ways now and I know someone sees me. I think that matters.
