About
Cynthia Chase, MSW, LCSW is a psychotherapist in private practice in Westchester, New York.
My practice has spanned over thirty years. I join the principles and practices of East and West in the joyful work of personal growth and enlightenment. I have led many workshops integrating a variety of approaches including Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Bio-energetics, dream analysis, Gestalt principles, psychodrama, meditation and energy medicine. I am a leader in the field of positive psychology which focuses on a person’s strengths instead of weakness or pathology. I have been featured in local newspapers and is a published author.
I've spent the last decade developing Reiki Fusion, a powerful blend of energy healing and shamanic journeying that empowers you to become your own healer. I teach Reiki classes, offer transformational sessions, and guide people back to the truth of who they are. I also wrote a book called Celestial Lessons: A Healer's Journey to the Light and Back, sharing the profound insights I brought back from the other side—and how you can live them here and now.
More of my story
The Before Times Before my Near Death Experience, I worked as a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I was trained in classical psychoanalytic therapy, helping people untangle complex emotions, navigate relationships, and heal from trauma. I loved the work. I believed in it. But something was missing.
The Turning Point At 27, I was struggling. Depressed. Going through a divorce. I felt like a failure, stripped of my identity and unsure of who I was without the roles I'd been playing. Then came the car accident. It was life-threatening. In that moment, I did something unexpected: I accepted my death. No fear. No resistance. Just surrender. And then… I crossed over.
The Other Side What I experienced on the other side changed everything. I saw my life through the eyes of love—no judgment, only wisdom, forgiveness, and compassion. I felt unlimited joy, a peace I had never known. I wasn't just "me" anymore. I was connected to everything. I was light—both in color and weight. I was the vibration of joy and creativity. I was one with all that is. There was no separation. Only unity.
The Return When I came back, I zoomed into my body and saw the emergency workers around me. But I could see something I never saw before. They weren't just human bodies doing a job. They were light-beings channeling love. The truth of who we are was revealed to me.
I returned with new abilities: energy sensitivity—I could feel and channel healing energy; the ability to see two realities at once—the physical world and the radiant energetic reality beneath it; and a deep knowing—that we are all light-beings, and the answers we seek are already within us.
My Work Today I am no longer just a psychotherapist. The near-death experience was so profound that it took decades for me to make sense of it and translate it into this joyous approach. I am a Reiki Master, energy healer, and spiritual guide—dedicated to helping others access the light and wisdom that already live within them.
