Counseling Services
I provide counseling services to adults who are at least 18 years of age or older. My clients are typically, but not necessarily, in the midst of a personal adjustment in their life circumstances. These transitional adjustments may include but are not limited to relationships (including relationship to Self), aging, retirement, illness, loss, and, of course, death. I have a particular interest in the study of dreams and working with the dreams of interested clients.
My services include:
Individual, Couple, Family, and Group Counseling
Dreamwork
Telehealth/Online Counseling
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.
Fee: $150/50 minute session
Private Fee $150/50 minute session; Insurance Accepted: Medicare and BCBS of SC (copays and deductibles apply).
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.
Fee: $150/50 minute session; Private Pay Only.
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.
