Mental Health and Wellness at Ascencia

The Wellness Department is a team of Case Managers who help service clients with mental health issues and/or physical disabilities. These case managers are trained professionals who provide comprehensive support to individuals with complex needs. Wellness case managers work closely with each client to create a customized care plan that addresses all of their mental and physical health concerns. This includes coordinating medical appointments, providing counseling and therapy services, and connecting clients with community resources. 

Health, both mental and physical, can be a barrier to housing and stability when you don’t have the proper care or resources to help you. Ascencia bridges this gap by helping clients to work through trauma and remove barriers.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma Therapy is an approach that recognizes and emphasizes how traumatic experiences impact an individual’s mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Ascencia contracts with licensed therapists who work with our clients to unpack their experiences and offer them skills, strategies, and other tools to assist them with coping with, understanding, and processing their emotions and memories tied to these traumatic experiences.

By healing traumatic experiences and teaching coping mechanisms, clients are one step closer to the life that they want and deserve.

Art therapy uses creative mediums like drawing, painting, coloring, and sculpture. Clients are invited to move their bodies, paint, write, and draw and use music to explore and express their emotions and feelings with the hopes of learning, in a sensory way, about the power of the arts for healing and transformation.

Ascencia contracts with a licensed Art Therapist who comes on-site multiple times per week to conduct sessions with clients.

This form of therapy is used to assist our young clients to express and explore their own traumatic episodes in an environment and manner that is familiar to them.
