Adoption & Foster Care Therapy in Portland, Oregon

At With Connection, we provide adoption-competent therapy for children, parents, and families in the foster care, kinship and adoption community in Portland, Oregon. Our therapists support families navigating attachment challenges, trauma-related behaviors, early placement transitions, grief and loss, and identity development. Our approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, helping children feel safe and understood while supporting parents in responding with confidence and connection.

We specialize in therapy for foster and adoptive families, blending clinical expertise with lived experience. Child and family therapist Helene Hanson is an adoptee and adoptive parent. Parent therapist Katie Statman-Weil is an adoptive parent through foster care. This perspective allows us to offer therapy that is both clinically grounded and deeply attuned to the realities of adoption and foster care.
