Did you know that your relationship with your provider accounts for as much as 50% of the improvement you see in psychotherapy? Fifty percent! The relationship with your provider is so important. This is what we focus on first at Upward. Empathy, gentleness, affirmation, humor, and understanding drive our relationships with our clients.

If 50% of your outcome is determined by the relationship with your psychotherapist, what determines the remaining 50 percent? The effectiveness of the psychotherapeutic approach and technique/expertise. At Upward, we exclusively use treatment techniques known as evidence-based practices, which are approaches that researchers have consistently proven are the most effective at treating specific symptoms. Our providers have spent decades immersed in the science of psychotherapy and honing our skills as psychotherapists.

At the end of your first session with us, our primary goal for you to leave with a feeling of hopefulness. We want you to feel hopeful that you've found a place prepared to help you effectively resolve your challenges, and that you are in the care of a provider who understands you.
