Adoption Therapy
What Is Adoption Therapy?
Adoption therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps individuals and families address the unique emotional and psychological challenges connected to adoption. It focuses on mental health concerns such as attachment difficulties, trauma, grief, and loss, while also supporting identity formation for adoptees and adoptive parents. Through compassionate, evidence-based approaches, adoption therapy aims to promote healing, strengthen family bonds, and foster a healthy sense of belonging and self-understanding throughout the adoption journey.
How We Help
Adoptees — Adoptees receive support to explore identity, attachment, and belonging, process early trauma or separation, build emotional stability, and develop a healthy, integrated sense of self through their adoption story.
Adoptive Parents — Adoptive parents are guided to understand trauma, attachment, and child development, build secure relationships with their adopted children, process infertility-related grief and adjustment challenges, and enhance communication and parenting confidence.
Birth Parents — Birth parents receive compassionate support to process grief, loss, and identity changes after placement, develop healthy coping strategies, and navigate boundaries and ongoing relationships in open adoptions.
Adoption Triad — The Adoption Triad focuses on enhancing communication and understanding among all parties involved, addressing the lifelong emotional impacts of adoption through trauma-informed and attachment-based approaches, and promoting healing and resilience for everyone in the adoption relationship.
