what we do

therapeutic philosophy

Welcome to Ascension Therapy, we are so glad that you’re here. We believe that every person possesses the ability to overcome obstacles, restore their health, and transform their lives. Our job is to provide you with the necessary tools to promote these positive changes. We view counseling from the lens of self-care – not to be seen as mending of the broken, but a forging of the strong. Just like the mythical phoenix, our hope is to help you transform into a new and stronger version of self. If you decide to take this leap of faith, we promise to be here to catch you.

about me

meet Vanessa Aasletten

I don’t know if you have ever felt this way, but I sometimes wish my life choices could have been different. When I find myself reflecting on all of those decisions, mistakes, and victories, I start to realize that everything I am is because of every single one of those choices. Whether they were good, bad, or seemingly neutral, they led me to becoming a therapist and that is one of the greatest blessings in my world.
