Ascend Behavioral Health

At Ascend, we believe in reminding teens of their strength while also giving them the level of support they truly need. Sometimes once-a-week therapy isn’t enough, and that could be a sign that additional support could be helpful.

Our adolescent programs are designed to meet teens where they are and provide structure, connection, and compassionate care that helps them build confidence, resilience, and hope.

We’re here to offer more than reassurance–we provide support, structure, and a path forward for teens and their families. 💙

If you or someone you know is struggling, call us at (559) 550-3978 or visit ascendbh.com to learn more about how we can help.

Even when things feel hard, it’s worth remembering that you’re stronger than you think. 💙

As the weekend approaches, take a moment to breathe, give yourself grace, and notice the small steps you’re taking, every effort matters.

Entering the new year with softness, not expectations. 💛

As we step into 2026, we want you to know: if you've been putting off seeking support for your mental health, today can be your fresh start.

You don't have to wait for the 'perfect' moment. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to take the first step.

To the teens who had a hard year… 🫂💚

You made it through. And that matters more than you know.

Be proud of everything you've overcome—every test, every tough conversation, every moment you kept going even when it felt impossible. Be proud of not giving up, even when part of you wanted to.

You chose to keep moving forward despite everything you've been through. Give yourself credit for the growth and strength you've built this year. It's real, and it's yours.

Your resilience is inspiring. You should be proud of yourself. 💙

Recovery isn't about giant leaps, it's about showing up, even on the hard days. 💚

Every small step your teen takes matters: reaching out for help, opening up about their feelings, or simply getting through a tough day. Progress isn't always visible, but it's happening.

If your teen is struggling with their mental health, we're here to help them take those steps forward. Call us at (559) 550-3978 or visit ascendbh.com to learn more about our adolescent programs.

Note to self as we head into the weekend: 💚

Taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical health gives you the foundation you need to show up for life. It's not about being perfect. It's about being intentional with the time you have.

Save this as a gentle reminder to check in with yourself this weekend. You deserve care, too. 💙

The holidays aren't easy for everyone.

For many teens, this time of year brings stress, pressure, and loneliness that can feel overwhelming. And if your teen is struggling, it's important to know, they're not alone, and neither are you.

Conversations matter. Whether it's a quiet moment after school, a walk around the block, or just sitting together, opening the door to talk about mental health can make all the difference.

If your teen is feeling the weight of the season, we're here to help. 💙

Have you noticed your teen sleeping more, pulling back from activities, or feeling more easily overwhelmed? These shifts can be part of adolescence, but sometimes they’re also signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

For teens struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges, sometimes weekly therapy isn't enough. That's when a higher level of care can provide the structure, support, and consistency needed to feel better.

At Ascend, we offer Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and Residential Treatment (RTC) programs designed specifically for teens, helping them stabilize, regain momentum, and start moving forward.

The stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas can be stressful for teens. 🎄

This season, it’s okay to:
✨ Listen to your body
✨ Say no when you need to
✨ Make time for what makes you happy
✨ Set boundaries
✨ Ask for help
✨ Create new traditions

Taking care of mental health is just as important as celebrating the holidays. 💚
