We’re Ascent Counseling

Life is beautiful and it’s also inherently challenging. At times we struggle to cope with anxiety, relationships, self worth, grief, and day to day stressors. Other times we’re simply out of balance and just need to feel heard.

We don’t claim to have it all figured out, but we can support you in becoming the best version of yourself through self knowledge, acceptance, and living a values guided life.

Never stop growing!

-Melanie Lindsay, LCSW

Evidence Based Practice

Effective therapy begins by creating an individually tailored treatment plan to best identify and address your unique challenges and concerns.

We’re here to be your sounding board, but you have to do the work; no one else can. Don’t worry though, we’ll be by your side, guiding you the entire way.

Today is your day. You got this.

We’re on this journey together

You are not alone! We’ll be with you every step of the way, but you have to take that first step.

We have an open door policy offering you a healing and non judgemental space to talk about what’s throwing you off balance.

Seriously. No judgement.

I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Melanie Lindsay and I started Ascent Counseling out of a passionate desire to help people. I know deep in my bones that this is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing. My 17+ years of experience as a mental health professional has taught me that at the end of the day, we just need to feel heard. 

I provide an open door and a healing space for reflection and personal growth. I will help you gain insight into your cognitive and emotional patterns as well as assist you in creating capacity within your nervous system. We’ll explore ways to grow, cope with, or accept life’s challenges and we will generate solutions that move you closer to the life you want.

We’re going to climb that mountain together.
