Launched in 2024, the Strategic Partner Network provides companies with a year-long engagement with ACA members and the larger counseling community. Businesses are vetted to ensure their products and services meet the ACA Code of Ethics standards. Those that are approved are also deemed to have a sustainable business and growth strategy as well as the capacity to collaborate with ACA on important counseling initiatives.

“At Upheal, we’re dedicated to empowering mental health providers with secure, AI-powered tools that reduce documentation time and help them focus more fully on client care,” said Upheal CEO and co-founder Juraj Chrappa. “We’re honored to partner with the ACA to expand access to technology that eases administrative burdens, supports clinician well-being, and upholds the highest privacy standards to protect therapeutic relationships. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to advancing care that is effective, secure, and sustainable for all mental health providers.”

Through participation in the Strategic Partner Network, Upheal will provide general support to ACA programs and activities.

“We celebrate the addition of Upheal to our growing Strategic Partner Network,” said ACA Interim CEO Syvonne Carter. “All partners have been carefully selected not only for their deep commitment to mental health but also for the added value each brings in helping us to better serve our more than 60,000 members with quality products and services that help to advance the counseling profession as a whole.”
