About Ascension Counseling Center

Ascension Counseling Center is a parish based agency offering outpatient services for individuals dealing with mental health or substance use challenges. They serve residents of Ascension Parish with care designed to support recovery and emotional health. They’re located in Gonzales, Louisiana, with an additional office in Donaldsonville.

They accept Medicaid and some private insurance plans as well as self pay. A sliding fee scale based on need starts at just $5, and is funded by the county.

Group Based Support and Treatment

I noticed that substance use treatment here is offered in a group setting. Their outpatient therapy program runs 16 weeks, while intensive outpatient lasts six weeks. They also provide relapse prevention and substance use education programs.

Substance use treatment groups are available for teens and adults, with additional groups for anger management and domestic violence as well.

Mental Health Support for All Ages

The counseling center provides mental and behavioral health treatment for children, adolescents and adults. In addition to counseling services, they provide psychiatric evaluations and medication monitoring.

Mental health services are available for all age groups, including couples and families. In contrast, substance use services are offered only for adolescents and adults.

Collaboration Within the Parish

They’re located inside the Ascension Government Complex so there’s plenty of parking and accessibility features available, making it easy for you to get to appointments. I was glad to see that they work closely with schools, healthcare providers and community organizations in the parish to make sure everyone is supported during recovery.

A Taste of the Jambalaya Capital

Gonzales sits between Baton Rouge and New Orleans so you’re not far from airports, major attractions and city amenities. They’re best known for their jambalaya, so much so that it’s earned the nickname “Jambalaya Capital of the World.” The counseling center is located near downtown, close to shops, restaurants and the Ascension Parish Library. For some outdoor time between sessions, Jambalaya Park offers a family-friendly space with a playground, pool and dog park.
