Ascend Behavioral Health | Adolescent Mental Health | Fresno, CA

ascend was the best experience I have ever had!

it was great for the most part … some staff were really pushy and kind of invalidating … it felt as if sometimes they were judging us , but i got to know some of the staff such as the school counselor thing person , her name is anna , and my therapist ( 2nd therapist) and to be honest the whole staff mostly … i was there for a while & my stay was almost over but my mom passed away … it felt kind of rushed , she passed away august 2021 and i left october 2022, they said i was okay because i went through one of the hardest things in life … but i wasnt really given time to process , ive barely started to process and i feel so alone … i felt as if the staff pretended to show what felt like love (from some of them) but when i left it was kind of… sad, no one gave me a hug … or asked … i was really close to my therapist, she gave me such a warm feeling , so anyways .. it was pretty good for the most part 🙂

Effectively working with adolescents requires a specific skill set and the staff at Ascend have all the skills to reach and help youths struggling with behavioral health issues. The providers at Ascend seem compassionate and dedicated to their work. They speak language that's relatable to younger people. They seem to create a real community which is helpful because younger people that struggle often feel different from their peers. Great environment.

Had a wonderful experience with Ascend!

The clinicians and program directors are remarkable! Helpful, sensitive and supportive. My family will always go to them for mental health services.

I enrolled my 16 year old son at Ascend when he was struggling with online learning and feeling helpless. I can not say enough good things about our entire process! The growth that I have seen in him is indescribable, he is happier, more confident, he has not only learned new tools but actually uses them. I would recommend Ascend Behavioral Health to anyone who has a teen that is struggling.

Ascend was so helpful with my teenage nephew! They were able to get him in right away and explained everything! The staff is amazing!! 5 star service!

Ascend offers a welcoming and safe environment for adolescents! The staff are extremely passionate in their work and it truly shows with the continuous positive impact they have made in their lives.

With the diverse challenges adolescents encounter - it is great to have a facility such as this offering diverse programs to assist them in dealing with these challenges.

From the first time I called asking for help to the very last session, this team has demonstrated real care and compassion for our family. I’m truly grateful for all the care given to my beautiful daughter. I cannot thank them enough. Healing while not easy is possible and within reach when guided by people like The Ascend’s team.

This place has the best staff, program and facility! You can feel the genuine care that this program has for their clients and clients' families as soon as you step through the door. You will not get better service or care anywhere else in the valley.

I can’t possibly give Ascend Behavior Health enough stars! We have been struggling with our 16 year old for 10 years. Different medications, therapists, psychiatrists, and at-home services. This is the ONLY PLACE where she has come out of her self-inflicted cage. There’s peace in our home now. They truly work miracles. I can’t thank this group enough, we finally have hope, and more importantly, we feel like we are getting our daughter back!!!

This place worked wonders for my kids great new innovative program and they work with you financially. They have a group well caring doctors as well.

Great people doing great work!
