Adoption

Adoption Therapy

Bringing a child into a family where once there was only longing is the dream of so many waiting parents. As the child begins to settle into the family there can be a new set of challenges. Parents may begin to notice difficulties their child is experiencing as the child adjusts to the new environment; or problems may not appear until some years after the adoption. The root may be the result of anything from a previously unknown early trauma to a school environment with new educational and social demands.

I have many years of experience working with adoptive children and their families. Together we can uncover the feelings beneath the behaviors, and work to bring about the changes and closeness the family needs to thrive.
