Welcome to Ascent Counseling

Change, Acceptance, Healing

Is a satisfying life, a life worth living, difficult for you to envision and/or create? Life is often very hard, especially when struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship problems and other psychological concerns. It is not uncommon, even for very strong people, to feel overwhelmed and unable to cope or incapable of making desired changes. At these times, a skilled and caring counselor may help you to find your way to a better life.

About Ascent Counseling

Dr. Kathryn Lewis, Psy.D., Therapist and Owner

Counseling is a process that works well when you feel accepted as you are and are able to honestly reveal yourself and your problems to an empathetic and experienced therapist. It is a collaborative process that combines the expertise of the therapist with the life experience of the client...Together, we can address areas of pain and create needed change.
