Dr. Updegrove provides counseling for a wide range of mental health concerns, always tailoring her approach to your unique needs and goals. Her work supports both individuals and couples who may be navigating:
Grief, loss, and life transitions
Identity exploration and personal growth
Relationship and communication issues
Intimacy, trust, and emotional connection in couples
Dr. Updegrove integrates the latest research-backed therapies with a warm, collaborative style to ensure treatment feels both effective and human. Each session is customized to your needs using a combination of the following approaches:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you recognize and transform unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors into more balanced, constructive ones.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages mindful awareness and meaningful action guided by your personal values, rather than by fear or avoidance.
Cognitive Rehabilitation: Supports clients managing cognitive difficulties related to trauma, stress, or neurological conditions by improving attention, memory, and problem-solving skills.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy: A scientifically grounded method that helps couples enhance communication, rebuild trust, and foster emotional intimacy.
Each therapeutic tool becomes part of a larger, integrative process that honors your story, your strengths, and your pace.
At Psychology Connection, mental health isn’t treated as separate from the rest of your life — it’s viewed through a whole-person lens. Dr. Updegrove blends evidence-based psychology with mind-body awareness and holistic wellness principles, supporting emotional clarity, physical calm, and spiritual connection.
This integrated approach allows for deeper, longer-lasting healing — not just symptom management.

Highly personalized care tailored to your needs
A safe, confidential space built on trust and respect

Here, therapy is not just about managing symptoms — it’s about rediscovering who you are beneath the pain and creating a life that feels authentic, balanced, and whole.
