At Ascend Polywellness Center, LLC, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality mental health care in a welcoming and comfortable setting. Our goal is to offer a full spectrum of support—from early detection and prevention to intervention and ongoing care. Our range of services includes, but is not limited to:
Mental Health Assessments
Mental health assessments are evaluations used to understand an individual’s emotional, psychological, and behavioral functioning. They typically involve interviews, questionnaires, and observation to identify symptoms and possible mental health conditions. These assessments help guide accurate diagnoses and inform personalized treatment plans.
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy is a one-on-one treatment process between a therapist and a client aimed at addressing emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. Through regular sessions, clients explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns to gain insight and develop healthier coping strategies. This personalized approach supports healing, personal growth, and improved well-being.
Medication Management
Medication management is a clinical service that involves evaluating, prescribing, and monitoring psychiatric medications to support mental health treatment. It ensures that medications are effective, safe, and tailored to each individual’s needs, with adjustments made as necessary. This process is typically overseen by a psychiatrist or other qualified healthcare provider in collaboration with the client.
Psychiatric Evaluation
A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a psychiatrist or mental health professional to diagnose emotional, behavioral, or mental disorders. It includes a review of the individual’s medical history, symptoms, and mental state through interviews and sometimes psychological testing. The evaluation helps determine an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Family Counseling
Family counseling is a form of therapy that focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships within a family unit. It involves working with family members together to address issues such as parenting challenges, relationship strains, or mental health concerns affecting the family. The goal is to foster understanding, support, and healthier dynamics among all members.
Children’s Therapy
Children’s therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to help children express their feelings, process experiences, and develop healthy coping skills. It often uses age-appropriate techniques such as play therapy, art, or storytelling to engage children in a comfortable and supportive environment. This therapy addresses emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges to promote overall well-being and growth.
Parent Counseling
Parent counseling is a supportive service that helps parents navigate the challenges of raising children, especially during difficult or transitional periods. It provides guidance on effective parenting strategies, communication, and managing behavioral or emotional issues in children. The goal is to strengthen the parent-child relationship and promote a healthy family environment.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is a type of therapy that helps partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship. It provides a safe space to explore emotional needs, address misunderstandings, and rebuild trust. The goal is to foster deeper connection, mutual understanding, and healthier relationship dynamics.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where individuals with similar concerns meet under the guidance of a licensed therapist to share experiences and support one another. It provides a safe and structured environment to explore personal challenges, develop social skills, and gain new perspectives. The group setting fosters connection, reduces isolation, and promotes healing through shared understanding.
We provide care for a broad range of psychiatric and psychological conditions, including but not limited to:
Attention Deficit and Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning. It often begins in childhood and can continue into adulthood, affecting performance at school, work, and in relationships. With early diagnosis and a combination of behavioral strategies, therapy, and sometimes medication, individuals with ADHD can manage symptoms effectively. We provide TOVA Testing for ADHD.
Bipolar Disorders
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts can affect a person’s energy, activity levels, judgment, and ability to function in daily life. With proper diagnosis and treatment, including therapy and medication, individuals with bipolar disorder can manage symptoms and lead stable, fulfilling lives.
Depression
Depression is a common mental health disorder marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities. It can affect a person’s thoughts, emotions, behavior, and physical health, often leading to difficulty functioning at work, school, or in relationships. With proper treatment—such as therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes—many individuals can recover and manage symptoms effectively.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition characterized by excessive, persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. People with GAD often struggle to control their anxiety, which can interfere with daily activities and may be accompanied by physical symptoms like restlessness, fatigue, or muscle tension. With proper treatment, including therapy and sometimes medication, individuals can learn to manage their anxiety and improve their quality of life.
Dementia/Delirium
Dementia and delirium are both conditions that affect cognitive function, but they differ in onset and duration. Dementia is a progressive decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning abilities, often caused by conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, and typically develops slowly over time. Delirium, on the other hand, is a sudden and often reversible state of confusion and disorientation, usually triggered by illness, medication, or infection.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as violence, accidents, or natural disasters. People with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness. With appropriate treatment—such as therapy, medication, and support—individuals can manage symptoms and work toward healing and recovery.
Separation Anxiety Disorder
Separation Anxiety Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive fear or anxiety about being apart from attachment figures, such as parents or caregivers. It is most common in children but can also affect adults, causing distress that interferes with daily activities like school, work, or social interactions. With appropriate treatment, including therapy and supportive strategies, individuals can learn to manage their anxiety and build confidence in separation situations.
Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral condition commonly seen in children and adolescents, marked by frequent anger, irritability, defiance, and argumentative behavior toward authority figures. These behaviors often go beyond typical childhood misbehavior and can disrupt family, school, and social functioning. With early intervention, including therapy, behavior management strategies, and family support, children with ODD can learn healthier ways to express their emotions and interact with others.
Autism
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. Symptoms and abilities can vary widely, ranging from mild to severe, and may include challenges with social cues, repetitive behaviors, and sensory sensitivities. With early diagnosis, individualized support, and therapies, individuals with autism can thrive and reach their full potential.
Asperger’s Disorder
Asperger’s Disorder, now considered part of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted or repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. Unlike other forms of autism, individuals with Asperger’s typically have average to above-average intelligence and do not have significant delays in language development. With appropriate support and interventions, they can develop strong skills and lead successful, independent lives.
Mental retardation
The term “mental retardation” is now outdated and has been replaced by Intellectual Disability. Intellectual disability is characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, which affect everyday social and practical skills. Early diagnosis and supportive interventions can help individuals achieve greater independence and improve their quality of life.
Substance abuse
Substance abuse refers to the harmful or excessive use of drugs or alcohol that negatively impacts a person’s health, relationships, and daily functioning. It can lead to physical and mental health problems, addiction, and social difficulties. Effective treatment often involves therapy, support groups, and sometimes medication to help individuals recover and maintain sobriety.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and eating behaviors. Common types include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, each with unique symptoms and risks. With proper treatment—such as therapy, nutritional counseling, and medical support—individuals can work toward recovery and improved well-being.
Factitious disorders
Factitious disorders are mental health conditions in which individuals deliberately produce or exaggerate symptoms of illness, often to assume the role of a patient. Unlike malingering, the motivation is not for external rewards but for psychological benefits such as attention or care. Treatment typically involves psychotherapy to address underlying emotional needs and promote healthier coping strategies.
Sleep disorders
Sleep disorders are conditions that affect the quality, timing, or duration of sleep, leading to daytime distress and impaired functioning. Common types include insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy. Proper diagnosis and treatment, which may involve lifestyle changes, therapy, or medication, can help improve sleep and overall health.
Obsessive Compulsory Disorder
OCD is a mental health condition characterized by unwanted, repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform to reduce anxiety. These obsessions and compulsions can interfere significantly with daily life, but with therapy and medication, individuals can manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Panic Disorders
Panic disorder is a mental health condition characterized by sudden, intense episodes of fear called panic attacks, which often include physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and dizziness. These attacks can occur unexpectedly and may lead to persistent worry about future episodes or avoidance of certain situations. With proper treatment, such as therapy and medication, individuals can learn to manage panic attacks and reduce their impact on daily life.
Self-Esteem Issues
Self-esteem issues involve a person having a negative or low perception of their own worth and abilities. This can lead to feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and difficulty handling challenges or relationships. With support and therapy, individuals can build confidence, develop healthier self-perceptions, and improve their overall well-being.
Stress Management
Stress management involves techniques and strategies to help individuals cope with and reduce the negative effects of stress in their lives. It includes practices like relaxation exercises, time management, and healthy lifestyle changes to improve emotional and physical well-being. Effective stress management can enhance resilience, focus, and overall quality of life.
Behavior Management
Behavior management involves strategies and techniques used to encourage positive behaviors and reduce problematic ones, often in children or individuals with behavioral challenges. It focuses on understanding the causes of behaviors and applying consistent, supportive interventions to promote healthy development and social skills. Effective behavior management helps improve relationships, learning, and overall functioning.
