WHAT IS FAMILY THERAPY?

Ascension provides counseling for both children and families of all kinds.  When we work with a new child or family, we work with the whole family to really see what makes the family unit work and what types of problems might sometimes prevent the family from communicating and functioning at its best.  Regardless of what particular family member or problem may have brought you to therapy, you can be sure our therapists are experienced with what you are going through and ready to help.

We are:
Confidential
Your family’s business is just that.  We’re here to meet you and help you on a confidential basis.  
Family Driven
Your family has a primary decision-making role in the care of your own children.
Client Guided
Clients are engaged as equal partners in treatment.
Community Based
We will try as hard as possible to help your family access beneficial resources located in your community, since that’s where your connections are.
Culturally Welcoming
Services and supports will be tailored to the unique culture of your child and family.  
Trauma Informed
A trauma informed child and family service system is one in which all parties involved recognize and respond to the impact of traumatic stress on family members.
Comprehensive
We identify and assemble a team that looks at each aspect of your family’s unique needs and communicates as a whole with all other members.  We believe that case management is important in helping families accomplish their goals.
