At Ascensions we practice a “therapy without walls” approach in which we see no boundaries in providing the best psychological care possible.  This means that we provide a variety of services not just to children and adults suffering from serious emotional, behavioral and/or mental disorders, but to their entire family unit; we believe that payment should never be a barrier to healthy functioning so we offer our services free of charge to individuals in need; and we deliver our services in a variety of settings including, our Anacostia-based office, local public schools, workplaces, churches, other community agencies, and virtually.

Our therapists provide clients with a number of services vital to healthy functioning including:  individual therapy; therapeutic groups for women, couples, and parents; veterans individual therapy and vet 2 vet  groups for former service members impacted by PTSD, conducted by our therapists in conjunction with our Director of Veterans Services; and psycho-educational workshops/trainings for agencies, schools, and non-profit organizations.
