The divide between what we hope for in our closest relationships, and what we experience, can be wide. If our hopes for ourselves and those we love most could carry us through, there would be no need for couples/family therapy. But the demands of daily life conspire with old fears; with gaps in relationship modeling in our growing-up years; and with life events beyond our control to increase tensions, and undermine communication and connection. Judgment and anger do not have to crowd out collaboration towards mutual goals. Choosing couples/family therapy is a step away from isolation and towards the life your family envisions.

Have you felt depressed, anxious, or just generally low energy most of the time? This can be very difficult, and it’s common to feel this way.

This can lead to a build up of difficulties, which can cause more frequent episodes and lead to long-term problems. If your goal is to rise above these feelings and thoughts, have you thought about therapy as a solution?

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
