What if you could know how to respond, and feel confident that you truly understand what your adoptee needs from you?
The teen and young adult years, are a lot. It can be a struggle! You feel that you’re doing your best, but you feel that you could be doing more, somehow. Perhaps the relationship has been strained. You find yourself second guessing what you say, and the decisions you make.
And, if mental health is part of the mix, it just adds to the overwhelm, the frustration. You may feel at a loss! You don’t know what else to do. You’ve been on the forums, you’ve done your research, but it’s not enough.
What if you could truly strengthen your relationship with your adopted teen/young adult, so it could be strong and secure enough to weather any ups and downs that come your way? That would be amazing, right? And, what if you could do that while setting them up for the future?
After seeing adoptive parents make the same missteps again and again, I created,

“Besides the benefits of Katie’s wisdom, the groups also provided a safe, supportive, and informative community with other parents experiencing the same struggles as me. I found that to be priceless.”

“Katie is a truly exceptional therapist for adoptive families and her group sessions for adoptive parents are packed with really valuable insights and strategies. Having worked with so many adoptees and adoptive parents, Katie advocates a holistic approach to parenting that centers on each child’s individual circumstances and determining the most appropriate ways for parents to help them navigate the many emotional hurdles that families face. She does so with a warmth and thoughtfulness that I found very calming and reassuring even on the most difficult days.”
