Are you ready for therapy that works? Have you tried therapy before but not been able to achieve the results you had hoped for? My colleagues and I at Upward Behavioral Health are excited to help you! Our care encompasses 4 main values: it is relationship-focused, evidence-based, data-driven, and provides measurable results in a reasonable time frame. Our areas of expertise include the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, depression, PTSD, nightmare, panic, phobia, OCD, and personality disorders. We also offer adult ADHD evaluation.
Dr. Norton and I are pleased to offer evidence-based care at Upward Behavioral Health
I have been in practice for 17 years and have developed expertise in the assessment and treatment of insomnia, mood disorders (such as depression), trauma, and anxiety disorders (such as panic, phobia, and generalized anxiety disorder). I provide both individual & small group sessions.
The decision to reach out for help can be a complicated one, and it can feel intimidating and defeating. But there is great reason for hope. Research has provided proven therapy tools to help clients make the changes they want. We at Upward are excited to offer you the highest standard of care and support you as you achieve your goals.
