Therapy for families impacted by foster care & adoption
At With Connection we understand you may need a space to explore the complexities of foster care and adoption. We are adoption competent therapists. We use attachment based techniques to strengthen the relationships between you and your child. We offer in-person child and family therapy in Portland, Oregon as well as telehealth therapy for adoptive and foster parents and caregivers throughout Oregon and Washington.
therapy for adoptive families
Adoption is complicated. Your adopted child may experience struggles with identity and the tension between loving your family and missing another. As adoptive parents you might feel confused or concerned about your child's emotions and behaviors. We offer therapy to support all members of your family.
therapy for foster/resource families
We support foster/resource parents and foster children as you navigate the unique experience of sharing life as a family for a season.
With Connection’s clinicians, Katie and Helene, were each longterm foster parents and are now adoptive parents. Helene is an adoptee herself and brings her unique perspectives and voice into her work with children and families.
grief therapy for foster/resource parents
Everyone tells you, “you signed up for this,” but no one seems to really know what that means. If you have lost a child you cared for and feel alone in your grief journey, we are here to walk alongside you as you navigate your grief.
