Trauma Therapy

Trauma Therapy is an approach that recognizes and emphasizes how traumatic experiences impact an individuals mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Our therapists 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.

Tele-Psychiatry

Tele-psychiatry services, a subset of telehealth where services are conducted virtually using a telecommunications device, include assessment, diagnosis, evaluation, patient education, and medication management to assist people experiencing homelessness in reducing mental health barriers to help them to stabilize in the course of securing and maintaining permanent housing.

Childrens Art Therapy

Art therapy uses creative mediums like drawing, painting, coloring, and sculpture. Clients are invited to move their bodies, paint, write, 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. This form of therapy is used to assist our little clients to express and explore their own traumatic episodes in an environment and manner that is familiar to them.

Financial Literacy

Achieving financial security requires more than just balancing a budget. Even before individuals and families experiencing homelessness have access to income, whether, through employment or social support, they need to recognize themselves as assets that can be engaged to achieve their desired outcomes. Our Financial Literacy courses teach clients how to build financial sustainability. By providing them the tools and allowing them opportunities to practice these tools through field trips, to assess mastery and skill level.

Occupational Therapy

Ascencia is excited to announce our new Occupational Therapy program. In partnership with West Coast Universitys Occupational Therapy Program, Ascencia now provides occupational engagement and group-based interventions to foster health promotion, housing placement, and stability. Our partners offer a variety of activities with clients such as mental health exercises, stress-relief techniques, and motor functioning activities. West Coast Universitys Occupational Therapy program is based on the belief that all humans are occupational beings in nature and in the healing power of occupation whereby humans can influence their own health status. We are excited to start this new program with West Coast Universitys Occupational Therapy Program to support Ascencias mission to lift people out of homelessness, one person, one family at a time.
