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.
Depending on your needs, your therapist may use one specific therapeutic approach or thoughtfully integrate several methods throughout treatment.
Finding the Right Therapist
The relationship you develop with your therapist is an important part of the counseling process. Our administrative team can help learn more about what you are 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
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy can help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and move toward meaningful change.
Couples Therapy
Relationships can become strained by communication difficulties, recurring conflict, life transitions, trust concerns, emotional distance, or simply feeling disconnected.
Couples therapy provides a supportive environment to better understand relationship patterns, improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, 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. It can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier ways of responding.
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. The approach encourages greater self-awareness, compassion, and healing.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps individuals develop psychological flexibility by learning how to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while continuing to move toward the things that matter most.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT focuses on practical skills for managing difficult emotions, improving relationships, tolerating distress, and becoming more mindful in everyday life.
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, authenticity, acceptance, and the therapeutic relationship. Your therapist works alongside you rather than directing your experience, creating space for self-discovery and growth.
Somatic and Mind-Body Approaches
Somatic approaches recognize that stress and emotional experiences can affect both the mind and body. Therapy may incorporate awareness of physical sensations, grounding, regulation, and other mind-body strategies.
