Our Facilities

At Ascend Behavioral Health, we’re proud to serve teens and families in Clovis and surrounding areas through two thoughtfully designed treatment centers: one in Fresno and one in Visalia. Both locations are within driving distance from Clovis and offer the same high-quality mental health services. Whether your family is looking for care closer to home or seeking a change of environment for added privacy and focus, each facility is built to support healing with safety, structure, and a compassionate team guiding the way.

The Visalia facility mirrors the Fresno center in its design, services, and supportive staff, providing a consistent standard of care.

Why We Offer Treatment in Visalia

We opened our Visalia center in response to a growing need for specialized teen mental health services in the San Joaquin Valley. Many local families lacked nearby options for age-appropriate, comprehensive care—and we knew we could help bridge that gap.

Visalia’s strong community values and central location make it the ideal place to expand access to compassionate, evidence-based treatment. By being here, we’re making it easier for teens to get help close to home, and for parents to feel confident that their child is receiving expert care in a safe, supportive setting.

How We Treat Mental Health Conditions in Teens

Treating adolescent mental health conditions require a fundamentally different approach than working with adults. At Ascend Behavioral Health, we tailor every aspect of care to meet teens where they are developmentally—emotionally, cognitively, and socially. Our clinicians specialize in adolescent treatment, using research-backed methods that support not just recovery, but long-term growth. Here’s how our approach stands apart:

Building Skills That Last

We focus on more than just managing symptoms. Teens in our care develop practical, age-appropriate tools for handling stress, navigating emotions, and improving communication. These are lifelong skills that help them succeed at home, in school, and in future relationships. Whether it’s learning how to self-soothe or set healthy boundaries, our goal is to give teens the tools they can use beyond treatment.

Fostering Autonomy and Ownership

Teens are at a stage where they’re seeking more independence, and we honor that by involving them directly in their treatment planning. Giving adolescents a voice in their care helps build self-confidence, accountability, and buy-in—all of which are crucial for meaningful progress. We treat them as active participants, not passive recipients.

Therapy That Speaks Their Language

Our clinicians use developmentally appropriate therapy techniques designed to keep teens engaged and open. From how we phrase questions to the examples we use in sessions, everything is tailored to make sense to the adolescent mind. This ensures they feel understood, which builds trust and strengthens the therapeutic relationship.

Rooted in Adolescent Brain Science

Teens don’t process emotions, risks, or decisions the same way adults do. Their brains are still forming connections, particularly in areas related to impulse control and long-term planning. Our interventions are crafted to align with this stage of development, helping teens gain insight and improve behavior without expecting them to think like adults.

Harnessing the Power of Peer Connection

Adolescents are social by nature, and much of their growth happens in relation to peers. That’s why our group therapies are more than just clinical sessions—they’re opportunities for teens to connect, share, and build supportive relationships. Practicing skills like empathy and conflict resolution in a peer setting helps reinforce those lessons in real-time.

Partnering with Families for Lasting Change

Mental health treatment for teens is most effective when families are involved. We work closely with parents and caregivers to provide education, support, and tools that strengthen the home environment. Our goal isn’t just to help the teen—it’s to help the whole family system support lasting, sustainable change.

What Families Should Know When Searching for Mental Health Treatment

Families in Clovis looking for teen mental health treatment should know this: adolescent care must be different—and it must be specialized. Teens need more than just a therapist who sees all ages; they need a program that understands how they think, feel, and grow. At Ascend Behavioral Health, our Fresno and Visalia locations are built around that exact need. We provide evidence-based, developmentally appropriate treatment in safe, teen-focused environments that include family involvement every step of the way. Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or something you can’t quite name yet, we help you make sense of what’s happening and guide your family forward with clarity, compassion, and expertise. You don’t have to figure it all out alone—we’re close by, and we’re ready to help.
