Individual Therapy for Adults
A Deeper Approach to Lasting Change
Many adults come to Upstream Therapy after previous therapy experiences that didn’t create the lasting impact they were seeking. If you’ve tried therapy before but still feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, our approach may offer a different path forward.
At Upstream Therapy, we specialize in working with adults who are ready to go deeper—to explore the upstream sources of current challenges rather than simply managing symptoms.
We understand that meaningful change often requires addressing experiences and patterns rooted in earlier life, particularly childhood and complex trauma.
Our Relational Approach
We create a safe therapeutic relationship where you can explore these deeper patterns and begin to understand how past experiences may be influencing your present life.
Rather than relying solely on traditional talk therapy, we incorporate experiential approaches that can help when words alone aren’t enough. Adults sometimes need alternative ways to access and work through experiences that may be stored beyond conscious language.

What to Expect
The Therapy Process
Initial Consultation
We begin with a complimentary 10-15 minute phone consultation to discuss your needs and determine if our approach might be a good fit for your goals.
Initial Assessment Session
Your first full session focuses on gathering information about your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This helps us understand your unique situation and begin developing an appropriate therapeutic approach.
Ongoing Therapy & Flexible Formats
We typically recommend weekly sessions, especially at the beginning of therapy. We offer both virtual and in-person therapy sessions to accommodate your preferences and circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is your approach different from other therapists?
We focus on addressing the upstream sources of current challenges rather than just managing symptoms. Our approach is particularly suited for adults who have tried therapy before without experiencing lasting change and are ready to explore deeper patterns and root causes.
Do you work with people who have tried therapy before?
Yes, this is actually our specialty. We understand that previous therapy experiences may not have provided the depth or type of healing you were seeking, and we’re equipped to work with adults ready for a different approach.
How long will therapy take?
The length of therapy varies greatly depending on your goals, history, and personal circumstances. Some people benefit from several months of work, while others engage in longer-term therapy. We’ll discuss your goals and check in regularly about progress.
Can I do therapy virtually?
Yes, we offer both virtual and in-person sessions for adult clients. Many adults find virtual therapy convenient and effective.
What if I'm not sure I'm ready for "deep work"?
That’s a natural concern. We move at your pace and never push you into material you’re not ready to explore. The therapeutic relationship itself is healing, and we work collaboratively to determine what feels right for you.
