Upswing Counseling

Therapy designed for kids of all ages. Upswing is uplifting kids and families through creative therapy—designed with a child’s age in mind, research informed, and unexpectedly fun! Therapy should look different for kids at different ages. As research supports, one size does not fit all in regard to counseling for kids. Upswing embraces the extra training and creative work needed to work most effectively with kids. Counseling that serves the whole family Upswing is made up of therapists trained in evidence-based interventions for both children and families. Upswing therapists have a background in Clinical Professional Psychology or Marriage and Family Therapy, and a shared commitment to further education and certifications toward working with kids. Upswing also provides training for other counseling professionals interested in improving their clinical work with children and families. The Upswing Philosophy We know coming to therapy for the first time with your family can be a daunting idea. Here is our professional commitment to your family: (1) We focus on treating the whole family—when one family member struggles, everyone is effected. (2) We’re committed to finding solutions, not blaming parents and children. (3) We value the complex nature of people at all ages, and therefore work with different people differently. (4) We view counseling as part science (research-informed), part art (creative and socially insightful clinicians), and part philosophy (clear thinking and thoughtful interventions).
