Integrated whole-person care across three Tampa Bay offices and statewide telehealth. 14 licensed clinicians. One connected care team. Because your mind and body are not separate problems.
We built Ascend Mind and Body around one idea. Your mind and body are not separate systems, and your care shouldn't be either.
Full-service primary care led by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jason Saylor, DO — board-certified osteopathic physician with 20+ years of clinical experience. Whole-person medicine that treats the root cause, not just the symptom.

Dr. Saylor is thorough, patient, and genuinely cares about his patients. He doesn't just treat the symptom — he looks at the whole picture. Best primary care doctor I've had in Florida, and I've been to a lot of them.
Kaylee made me feel comfortable from the very first session. She is warm, non-judgmental, and incredibly skilled. I dreaded therapy for years and she made it the one appointment I actually look forward to every week.

Yes. Our providers are licensed to deliver virtual care anywhere in the state of Florida via HIPAA-secure video. Psychiatry, therapy, and most primary-care follow-ups are available virtually. You will see the same provider you would see in the office.
Ketamine therapy is a medically supervised treatment option for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and severe anxiety. Sessions are conducted under medical supervision at our Wesley Chapel clinic and typically last about two hours. Your provider will evaluate whether ketamine therapy is appropriate during an initial psychiatric consultation.
A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner focuses on diagnosis, medication management, and the biological aspects of mental health. A therapist or counselor provides talk therapy — structured conversations that help you develop coping skills, process emotions, and change thought patterns. At Ascend, we offer both under one roof so your care team can collaborate directly on your treatment plan.
