What We Offer

Mental health and Substance Use care designed around the person, not just a diagnosis.

01

Individual, Group & Family Therapy

Our licensed behavioral health professionals provide a supportive space to understand challenges, develop coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and work toward meaningful personal goals.

Treatment may include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and specialized therapeutic groups based on individual needs.

02

Psychiatric Services & Medication Management

For individuals who may benefit from psychiatric care, our services can include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing monitoring.

Our psychiatric and clinical teams work together so medication, therapy, and other supports can be coordinated as part of the individual's overall treatment plan.

03

Outpatient & Intensive Behavioral Health Services

Sometimes weekly counseling is enough. Sometimes more support is needed.

ASun Star provides different levels of behavioral health care based on individual needs. Services may range from traditional outpatient therapy to more structured and intensive treatment programs.

Our goal is to provide the right level of support at the right time while helping individuals remain connected to their families, schools, work, and communities whenever possible.

04

Substance Use & Co-Occurring Services

Mental health and substance use concerns can occur together. Our approach considers the whole person rather than treating each concern in isolation.

Services may include assessment, counseling, group treatment, recovery support, relapse-prevention strategies, psychiatric services, medication support when appropriate, and treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use needs.

05

Community, School & Home-Based Support

Care should not always be limited to an office.

Depending on the program, location, eligibility, and individual need, ASun Star services may be delivered in our treatment centers, schools, homes, and community settings.

This allows our teams to better understand the individual's environment, collaborate with important members of their support system, and help people practice skills where everyday life actually happens.

Our Approach

We treat people…….not labels.

Every person who walks through our doors brings a different story, set of strengths, experiences, and goals.

That's why ASun Star uses a whole-person, trauma-informed, strength-based, evidence-based, and culturally responsive approach to behavioral health care.

Treatment is individualized and may incorporate evidence-based practices such as:

Our multidisciplinary approach allows professionals across behavioral health disciplines to collaborate when multiple types of support are needed.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Trauma-focused interventions
  • Solution-focused approaches
  • Family-centered interventions
  • Psychoeducation and skill development
  • Other evidence-based practices appropriate to the individual's needs

More Than a Therapy Appointment

Our goal isn't simply to help someone feel better during a session.

We want individuals and families to leave with skills, strategies, resources, confidence, and support that carry into everyday life.

That means looking at the whole picture, mental health, physical wellness, relationships, family, school, work, community, environment, and the other factors that influence a person's well-being.

Not Sure Where to Start?

One conversation. Your next step.

You don't need to know whether you need outpatient therapy, psychiatric services, group counseling, substance use treatment, family support, or another program before reaching out.

Tell us what's going on.

We'll help you understand what support may be right for you or your family.
