Oasis Ascent is a short-term residential treatment program for teenagers located in Millcreek, Utah. The families we serve are in crisis and need support keeping their children safe right now. At Oasis Ascent, we provide thorough assessment, around-the-clock secure care, and intensive support to young men and women. We are a safe setting for adolescents to stabilize while they and their families meet with licensed clinicians to determine the underlying causes of distress and what next steps make the most sense for their needs.

As a Clinical Therapist with Oasis Ascent, you will carry a caseload of clients to assess, diagnose, and create a treatment plan that addresses their mental, behavioral, and/or substance disorders. When our clients are admitted they are in immediate distress. You will help them stabilize, identify underlying issues and maladaptive behaviors that need to be addressed for healthy functioning, and make recommendations for further intervention and care as indicated. As part of an integrated treatment team, you will meet regularly and coordinate with other directors to ensure we are providing consistent, effective, and appropriate care across departments. Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe place for adolescents to stabilize, help each family understand what is going on with their child, foster commitment to following through with appropriate care, and setting them up for success through the creation of a thorough, evidence-based treatment plan.
