Counseling

Adoptive, kinship, and foster care children face unique emotional, developmental, and behavioral challenges that may stem trauma, grief, or loss. Adoptive, foster, and kinship parents can also face emotional trauma due to attachment, bonding, or the challenges of parenting a child with mental and behavioral health challenges.  Early intervention will help address and overcome these challenges.

Adoption counseling can also help with the adoption, foster care, and kinship transition. Many families come to therapy to help with adoption-related issues, grief, attachment, and trauma. Some families are still facing the pain of past infertility. Adoptive, foster, and kinship mothers can also experience baby blues(adoption blues).  These feelings are normal, but you should seek counseling to help with the transition.

Our Counselors

Our counselors are trained MSW, LCSW, and BSW's and have the skills, insight, and experience they need to effectively work with all those touched by foster care and adoption. We understand how childhood trauma affects attachment, how a sense of loss is always near, how learning about birth parents can influence an adoption.  Our Licensed Clinical Counselor is a trauma-informed therapist, parenting coach, and adoption family counselor.

Attachment and Trauma

Individuals deal with stress on a daily basis, leading to difficulties with anxiety and depression, challenging relationships with family members or coworkers.  Traumatic experiences can affect our current ability to live effectively. 
​
Adoptive children deal with issues of loss, attachment trauma, abuse and neglect. Often children who have experienced these issues exhibit differences in the brain, which may appear as inappropriate coping behaviors such as acting out, crying, inability to sleep well, and delayed emotional and social growth.
