Get Support on Your Post-Adoption Journey

Adoption, foster care placement, and similar experiences can have a deep impact on your life. If you’re struggling to navigate your adoption experience, you’re not alone. Your adoption-competent therapist can help you process your emotions and provide support along the way. 

We understand that adoption is a lifelong process. 

There’s no one “right” way to think about adoption’s role in your life. Adoption impacts your life through every stage. If you’re navigating an adoptee reunion, adoption disruption, or a difficult adoption transition, we’re here to guide and support you through each phase. 

Post-adoption therapy complements other types of therapy. 

An adoption-competent therapist understands the full picture of your mental health. They can deep dive into how your adoption experience interacts with other factors, such as grief, trauma, identity, family dynamics, parenting approaches and more.
