Therapy for First Family Members

Individual and group therapy offer compassionate, adoption-competent support for first and birth family members navigating the emotional impact of adoption. Experiences of grief, loss, ambiguity, shame, love, and longing often coexist and may not have been fully acknowledged or supported. Therapy provides a space where these complex experiences can be explored with care, without judgment, assumptions, or pressure to feel a certain way.
Individual counseling allows for one-on-one support at your own pace, while groups offer a rare and meaningful opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences. Group spaces can reduce isolation and foster validation, understanding, and mutual support. All services are facilitated through a trauma-informed, adoption-competent lens that centers your voice, respects your story, and supports healing through both personal reflection and shared connection.
