Our Story
Ascentia Mind and Body Wellness Center, PLLC was born from both professional insight and personal experience. With over 20 years in nursing, our founder witnessed firsthand how the emotional and mental well-being of patients was often overlooked—especially in communities where stigma surrounds mental health. While serving as a Nurse Manager on a cardiac unit, she observed patients returning repeatedly with unresolved symptoms tied not to heart disease but to unaddressed anxiety and depression. Later, when navigating a mental health crisis within her own family, she faced the same challenges many do—finding culturally competent, compassionate care. Driven by a desire to bridge this gap, she earned her Doctorate in Psychiatric Mental Health and founded Ascentia to provide accessible, judgment-free, and holistic mental health care for all.
