Getting to know Courtney Uppendahl

Hi there, I'm Courtney! Hello! I am Courtney Uppendahl, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco. Therapy is a collaborative journey. I believe in holding space for your story while we work together on achieving your goals. My approach My approach combines an empathic client-centered outlook, informed by research and various evidence-based practices, to help clients feel validated and empowered as they work towards their goals. I truly enjoy helping individuals through their everyday challenges, childhood memories, trauma, parenting, and life transitions. My focus I have specialized training in treating trauma and perinatal mental health issues. The clients I work with in my practice come from all backgrounds and experiences, and I am skilled in adapting to each client and the uniqueness they bring to treatment. My communication style When you come to a therapy session, my hope is that you can come as you are and be your authentic self. In turn, I offer my authentic self, which includes warmth, empathy, and humor. My journey to mental healthcare I initially wanted to be a teacher when I was beginning college and had an opportunity to experience a classroom setting with young children. I quickly recognized a need for social and emotional support for those young learners, which led me to pursue becoming a therapist. I worked for over 10 years in community mental health with young children and their families. This work was highly rewarding and fueled my passion to continue working as a therapist. Now, I have two small children, and my own experience with pregnancy and postpartum has deepened my passion for working with parents, especially mothers, in various parts of their maternal journey. I feel immense gratitude to hold a safe space for my clients and to help facilitate meaningful change in their lives.
