Having had infertility problems myself, so I understand the sadness and pain that accompanies all aspects of not being able to birth a child. I also adopted a child, as well as having 9 foster children, so I recognize the struggles and joys of taking that path.

Across Counseling llc
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CSAC, LPC
Often, adopted children have thoughts, fears, confusion and questions over their life span. Many of these children have also suffered from early abuse and or neglect as well. When attachment to a primary caregiver does not develop, or is interrupted, there are actual changes in the brain. A competent therapist must be able to build emotionally connected relationships, have and be able to teach about the brain connection, and apply good interventions specific to each child’s history. Parents must be fully involved with treatment and are a life-long leading treatment team member for their child.
