Healing Begins at the Source

Therapy That Goes Upstream

Providing therapy services in Chicago for trauma healing, rebuilding connection, and restoring emotional well-being.

Child & Adolescent Therapy

Child-Focused Healing

Play is a child’s first language. At Upstream Therapy we use play-based approaches that honor your child’s natural way of processing emotions & experiences.

Young Adult Therapy

Deeper Transformation

When previous therapy hasn’t created lasting change, it may be time to go upstream to address root causes. Our relational approach helps adults in a supportive, creative environment.

What Makes Upstream Therapy Different?

Addressing the source, not just managing the symptoms

At Upstream Therapy, we believe lasting change comes from addressing the source of challenges, not just managing symptoms. Using both evidence-based methods and creative approaches, we build personalized therapeutic experiences that honor your unique story and needs.

Whether working with children through play therapy or adults through experiential methods, our goal is the same: helping you heal at the deepest level to create sustainable transformation.
