Adoption is a truly beautiful way to make a family. And, it can be complicated by unfulfilled expectations, identity confusion, racial issues, and loss. The experience of being an adoptive parent or child—even a grown-up child—can be immensely challenging in a way that’s difficult for many to understand. If you are a parent or an adoptive child looking for someone to understand your unique experiences, you need to find a therapist who has competency and experience with adoptive families. I have worked with dozens of adoptive families, each time growing more deeply touched by both the love and difficulty of what it means to be in an adoptive family. I can provide individual and family therapy that addresses adoption-related concerns.
Adoption-Related Concerns
Individual therapy can help process difficult emotions and experiences related to the nature of adoption, and family therapy can promote a less stressful family environment by helping family members change communication and relationship patterns.
