OUR SERVICES
Guidance for Every Step of Adoption
Are you preparing to adopt or getting ready to the transition? Adoption comes with unique joys and challenges, and we provide expert, one-on-one support to help you build a strong foundation, foster connection, and confidently address any concerns before or after bringing your child home.
Are you struggling to connect with your adopted child or manage challenges at home?
We guide families in building emotional resilience and trust, improve communication, and create a secure, loving environment where children feel safe and supported.
Building Trust & Connections
Embracing Identity & Belonging
Does your child struggle feeling at home?
We help children explore their identity, addressing feelings of isolation and uncertainty. By strengthening family bonds and affirming individuality, we create space for a deep sense of belonging.
Is your family facing overwhelming challenges that feel too big to handle alone? Whether navigating a crisis, adjusting to a new family dynamic, or managing complex emotions, we provide the guidance and tools to restore stability, strengthen connections, and create a path forward together.
Strengthening Families Through Change
We Offer A Variety Of Services
Educational & Experiential Seminars
Looking for deeper guidance on attachment and parenting strategies?
This discussion-based series supports adoptive and foster parents with practical tools to strengthen bonds, navigate challenges, and foster emotional connection. Through expert-led conversations, parents learn how to respond with empathy, build secure relationships, and care for their own well-being.
Pre & Post Adoptive Parent Consultations
Are you filled with frustration, impulsivity, or handling big emotions that make things harder at home or school?
CPS helps kids and teens build problem-solving skills by working with them rather than using punishment or rewards. This approach fosters communication, emotional regulation, and flexibility, helping children feel understood while learning how to navigate challenges more effectively. By strengthening connection and collaboration, CPS empowers both kids and parents to move from conflict to cooperation.
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)
(DDP)
Do you struggle with trust, connection, or feeling safe? Do past experiences make it hard to open up or regulate emotions?
DDP is designed to help children and teens (especially those who have experienced trauma or attachment disruptions), build stronger, more secure connections. By fostering safety and emotional connection, DDP helps kids express their feelings, develop trust, and strengthen bonds with caregivers. This approach empowers families to communicate more openly and nurture deep, lasting connections.
Family Intensive Program
If you are an adoptive family in crisis or planning to adopt a child with a complex traumatic history or with significant emotional, behavioral or learning disabilities, our Family Intensive Program might provide the level of support you need.
Family Intensive Program is a 5 to 10 day multi-disciplinary approach to diagnosis, assessment and treatment of adopted children and their families that condenses 4 to 8 months of treatment into 1 to 2 weeks.
