Rosecrance Therapies to offer treatment for eating disorders, sports and performance counseling

Rosecrance Therapies is enhancing and expanding its treatment options by acquiring the assets of Ascend CHC, a leading provider known for its expertise in eating disorders and specialized support for sports and performance counseling.

With Ascend’s reputation and specialization in these areas, Rosecrance Therapies will begin offering these services immediately, with no interruption of care for current clients.

Rosecrance has built a long-standing and successful history characterized by organic growth and significant mergers and acquisitions, positioning itself as a leader in behavioral health treatment. This latest addition represents a strategic move to expand service offerings further, leading to an integration of more comprehensive behavioral health services in Illinois.

Rosecrance is also reinforcing its commitment to providing effective and specialized care tailored to the unique needs of individuals in the communities it serves, said Carlene Cardosi, President of Clinical Services, Chief Operating Officer, and President of Rosecrance Therapies.

“As part of this initiative, we are placing a greater emphasis on treating eating disorders, which frequently emerge alongside substance use and mental health disorders,” Cardosi said.  “We are also enhancing our counseling services for individuals in high-performance roles—such as athletes, musicians, and performers—equipping them with the mental skills essential for optimizing their performance while ensuring their long-term well-being.”
