Upside Therapy & Evaluation Center

You don’t have to keep trying to fit into spaces that weren’t built for you.

At Upside Therapy, we help neurodivergent and LGBTQ kids, teens, and adults stop wondering what’s “wrong” with them – and start building the belonging, clarity, and support they’ve been missing.

Therapy for people who don’t feel like they fit in.

If you’ve spent your life feeling like an outsider – masking your quirks, hiding your struggles, always worried you’re “too much” or “not enough” – you deserve support that actually fits you.

Upside Therapy was built for people who feel different.

We don’t ask you to change who you are.

We help you understand yourself, find people who truly see you, and create a life that feels like it fits.

When You’ve Always Felt Out of Place

It’s exhausting trying to hold it all together while feeling like you don’t belong anywhere.

When friendships never seem to stick.

When social situations leave you anxious, drained, or shut down.

When your child is struggling and you don’t know how to reach them.

It can feel like you’re failing them – or failing yourself.

You’ve wondered why everything seems harder for you than it is for everyone else.

And under all of it is the quiet question:

“Where do I actually belong?”

Our Approach

We give you more than therapy. We give you a map – and a community.

You don’t have to patch together care from people who don’t understand you.

Here, everything you need is in one place, with a team who truly gets it.

  • Psychological testing to uncover what’s really going on – and give you a clear, compassionate roadmap forward
  • Individual therapy to help you build skills, confidence, and self-trust
  • Social groups where you can practice new ways of connecting while feeling safe and accepted

We build your game plan – and walk it with you.

As you grow, you stay surrounded by people who already know you and believe in you.

What Becomes Possible with Therapy

Imagine what life could feel like when you stop carrying the weight of being “different” alone.

When your child comes home glowing after making a real friend.

When you walk into a room without bracing for rejection.

When you trust your relationships – and trust yourself to handle what life throws at you.

Here’s what becomes possible:

  • Feeling safe in your own skin
  • Having people who understand and accept you
  • Knowing what to do next – and believing you can do it
  • Watching isolation turn into connection, and confusion into confidence

You don’t have to keep trying to fit in.

You can build a life where you belong.
