Welcome to Ascend Therapy & Wellness Services
A place to Grow, Heal & Soar.
Individualized Therapy
Everyone should have access to personalized and effective care that brings healings to the mind, body, & soul. We care about the whole person.
Evidence-Based Care
Our clinicians provide evidence- based care that will address the root issues of anxiety, trauma, depression, and distress within your life and relationships. We don’t believe in solely “talk therapy.”
ABOUT ME- Meet Kijuana
"We are not what happened to us; we are what we wish to become." — Carl Jung
Kijuana specializes in adolescent development and treats clients of all ages. She believes that with action, consistency, accountability, and reflection, any goal is achievable. Passionate about uncovering root causes, she guides clients through healing and growth.
Her expertise includes trauma, anxiety, depression, couples' distress, parenting, multicultural/racial identity, spirituality, and personal development. While rooted in psychodynamic principles, Kijuana tailors treatment to each client using evidence-based practices, experiential therapies, and psychoeducation. Her nurturing, strengths-based, and solution-focused approach empowers clients to transform their thoughts, behaviors, and lives. She believes that your past does not limit you, but it is the perception and beliefs about self. The human being is remarkable.
Kijuana holds an LCPC, a MA in Counseling from Northwestern University, and an MBA from North Central College. She has experience in business, finance, and education, helping individuals create actionable paths to success.
Married and a mother of three, she enjoys running, theater, the arts, and volunteering. --Trust the Process.
