Mental Health Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. At Ascension Counseling Services, our therapists take time to understand your concerns, experiences, strengths, and goals before determining the approach that may be most helpful. Whether in individual therapy sessions or group therapy settings, your therapist may utilize a specific therapeutic method or thoughtfully integrate multiple techniques throughout treatment to meet your needs. Additionally, we provide clinical supervision to ensure that our therapeutic practices remain effective and tailored to you.
Finding the Right Therapist
The relationship you develop with your therapist is a vital aspect of the counseling process, whether you're engaging in individual therapy sessions, group therapy, or seeking clinical supervision. Our administrative team is here to help you learn more about what you're looking for and connect you with a clinician whose experience, personality, availability, and therapeutic approach may be a good fit.
THERAPY MAY HELP WITH:
- Anxiety and excessive worry
- Depression and low mood
- Trauma and difficult life experiences
- Relationship challenges
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Emotional Regulation
- Stress and burnout
- Life Transitions
Through individual therapy sessions, clients can explore these issues in depth, while group therapy provides a supportive environment to share experiences. Additionally, clinical supervision ensures that therapists are equipped to address these challenges effectively.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions can help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and move toward meaningful change. Additionally, group therapy can enhance the benefits you receive from individual therapy by providing support and insights from others. Engaging in this process may also be complemented by clinical supervision, ensuring you are on the right path to personal growth.
Couples Therapy
Relationships can become strained by communication difficulties, recurring conflict, life transitions, trust concerns, emotional distance, or simply feeling disconnected. Engaging in couples therapy, complemented by individual therapy sessions, provides a supportive environment to better understand relationship patterns. In addition, group therapy can enhance communication, strengthen emotional connections, and develop healthier ways of navigating challenges together.
Approaches Our Therapist May Use
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In the context of clinical supervision, it can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier ways of responding, whether through individual therapy sessions or group therapy.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
IFS helps individuals better understand the different “parts” of themselves that may carry emotions, beliefs, protective behaviors, or past experiences. This approach, often incorporated into individual therapy sessions and group therapy settings, encourages greater self-awareness, compassion, and healing, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of clinical supervision.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT supports individuals in developing psychological flexibility through individual therapy sessions and group therapy, teaching them how to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while still striving towards what truly matters in their lives, all under the guidance of effective clinical supervision.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing difficult emotions, enhancing relationships, and developing distress tolerance, which are essential components addressed in both individual therapy sessions and group therapy. Additionally, it encourages mindfulness in everyday life, all of which may be supported through effective clinical supervision.
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, authenticity, acceptance, and the therapeutic relationship. In both individual therapy sessions and group therapy settings, your therapist works alongside you rather than directing your experience, creating space for self-discovery and growth.

Somatic and Mind-Body Approaches
Somatic approaches in individual therapy sessions and group therapy recognize that stress and emotional experiences can impact both the mind and body. Therapy may incorporate awareness of physical sensations, grounding techniques, regulation, and other mind-body strategies, often under clinical supervision.
