The name "Upstream" reflects the intentional effort and resilience required for growth and change. Moving upstream is not passive—it demands strength, persistence, and an active engagement in the process. This mirrors the work of therapy, where progress often involves navigating challenges, facing discomfort, and pushing against old patterns.

At the same time, "Upstream" speaks to the idea of returning to the source—whether that’s reconnecting with our core values, understanding the root of our struggles, or realigning with what truly drives us. This aligns with a bottom-up approach in therapy, where we work with the body, emotions, and nervous system to create lasting change rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms.
