INDIVIDUAL, COUPLE, FAMILY, AND GROUP COUNSELING

Individual, couple, family, and group counseling with clients working on depth issues to achieve intrapsychic and behavioral change as well as improved relationships with others.

My counseling theory of practice is based primarily in family systems, experiential, and client centered counseling concepts. I draw heavily on concepts and principals of Jungian Psychology. My approach regards the counseling process as a very personal means whereby one person assists another to experience and understand themself more fully as they are in the present, with the emphasis on becoming more completely that which one has the capacity to be.

DREAM WORK

Brief and In-depth counseling with clients who are interested in working with their dreams, dream fragments, memories, or memory fragments.

The opportunity is available to explore a core issue effecting one’s life with the intent of developing a new state of awareness and an expanded way of living. While this method is very helpful for personal growth in general, it is especially useful if one is feeling “stuck” in any variety of ways (in relationship, creativity, anger, grief, etc.). It is an intentional method of addressing some of life’s most perplexing and troubling circumstances. Conceptualizing and implementing behavioral change are vital aspects of the process. The primary tools are dreams and memories. A new dream or memory is addressed at each session.

10 weekly sessions ranging in length from 60-90 minutes

Session #1: Historical review and setting the intention for the work; sharing of the most recent dream or memory.

Sessions #2-4: New dreams or memories are shared as they evolve. This begins the working phase of the process in which there is a general unfolding of the work and a loosening of fixed ways of approaching the core issue.

Sessions #5-8: Dreaming and remembering continue; the work deepens and becomes more concentrated.

Sessions #9-10: Dreaming and remembering continue; there is a consolidation and review of the process and outcome. The focus is on implementation of insights that have evolved during treatment into the actual experiences of everyday life.

Fee: $1000 for the series of 8-10 sessions (10-15 hours), private pay only.
This fee computes to about $67/ hour
The entire series may be paid in advance or broken down into $200 payments due at the beginning of each of the first 5 sessions.

TELEHEALTH/ONLINE COUNSELING

With busy schedules it can be hard to always make office appointments. With that in mind, telehealth/on-line services are available and can be scheduled by contacting Dr. Upchurch. We meet in a secure, encrypted online “office”. After an appointment has been scheduled, you will receive a confidential encrypted Zoom meeting site/link for the appointed time.
