Feeling really grounded and grateful to share this 🌿✨

For those who don’t know me, I’m Josie Shearer, LMSW the behind-the-scenes person for our page and outreach program, and one of the original providers who helped get Ascent Therapy started in Harrison.

I’ve officially completed my EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training and am now offering EMDR in my practice. 🤗💛

My work is very heart-centered and never one-size-fits-all, especially when working with children, adolescents, and families. I love blending EMDR with somatic work (tuning into the body), attachment-focused care, parts work, and cognitive interweaves to help people make sense of their feelings in a safe and supportive way.

I also weave in Polyvagal Theory to help clients better understand their nervous system because behavior makes so much more sense when we look at what’s happening underneath it.

Whether it’s big emotions, trauma, anxiety, or just needing extra support, I’m passionate about creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and able to grow. 🌼

If you’re looking for support for your child, teen, or family, feel free to reach out or share. ☺️💛

Please welcome one of our new providers 🤗💛—Karinne Ruff, LMSW, is an outpatient therapist currently providing services in both the Green Forest School District and the Harrison office. She works with children, adolescents, and adults—serving clients as young as five years old—and supports a wide range of emotional and behavioral needs.

With three years of experience in the mental health field, Karinne has a background in working with children in foster care, helping reunify them with their biological families. This experience sparked her passion for digging deeper into family dynamics and providing clinical services that walk alongside children and families through challenges. She also utilizes trauma-informed approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Karinne is currently working toward her LCSW and is dedicated to continuing her growth as a clinician. Her approach focuses on meeting clients where they are, building strong therapeutic relationships, and helping individuals and families develop healthier patterns and connections.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, exploring new places, and seeking out new experiences that cannot be recreated.

She is grateful for the opportunity to serve the Green Forest and Harrison communities and looks forward to continuing to support clients in their growth and healing.

📚✏️ Ascent Therapy Harrison – Back to School Event 2026! 🎒💙

We are already getting excited for our Annual Back to School Event, and we can’t wait to do it again this year!

Last year’s event was such a huge success — because of our amazing community, we were able to help so many local students start the school year feeling prepared and confident. Between backpacks, supplies, and smiling faces, it was truly an incredible day!

We are especially excited to share that Haute House Salon is partnering with us again this year! 💇‍♂️💇‍♀️
They have 15 stylists volunteering their time to provide free haircuts to the kids in our community — just like they did last year. We are beyond grateful for their generosity and heart for serving local families!

📍 This year’s event will all be held at Haute House Salon.

As many of you start your spring cleaning, we’d love for you to keep us in mind. We are beginning to collect donations and would greatly appreciate:
🎒 New backpacks
💧 New water bottles
✏️ School supplies

We would also love to partner with local businesses who may want to sponsor backpacks, donate supplies, or support this event in any way. Our goal is to make this year even bigger and better for our local families!

🗓 Save the Date: August 7th
⏰ Time: To Be Determined
📍 Location: Haute House Salon
📣 More details coming soon!

Thank you for always supporting our mission to care for the mental health and well-being of our local students. It truly takes a village, and we are so thankful to be part of this one. 💙
