Meet Allison Welsh, LCSW, the heart of Ascend's clinical leadership!

Allison oversees quality of care across all our programs, leading teams with compassion and innovation. With over a decade in adolescent treatment, she's dedicated to one thing: helping teens discover their own autonomy while supporting families to heal together.

Her philosophy? Young people aren't just clients—they're the protagonists of their own healing stories.
That's Profound Change in action. 🤎

One of the biggest myths about healing: that you should be able to do it on your own.

The truth? Healing happens in connection. With friends who understand. With family who shows up. With a community that holds space for your journey.

At Ascend, we see it every day, teens finding strength in each other, realizing they're not alone, and discovering that vulnerability isn't weakness. It's courage.

Our homes are more than just treatment spaces, they’re communities of like-minded individuals sharing similar stories, supported by therapy, family sessions, and holistic care.
