Therapy for Foster and ADoptive families in Oregon

At With Connection, we understand the unique joys and challenges that come with foster care and adoption. Whether you’re navigating early transitions, attachment difficulties, trauma-related behaviors, or identity exploration, you deserve a space where you and your child feel seen, supported, and understood.

We specialize in therapy for adoptive and foster families, blending professional expertise with personal experience. As adoptive parents ourselves—and in the case of our child therapist Helene, also as an adoptee—we bring deep empathy and insight into the complexities of adoption, foster care, loss, and healing.

Whether you're seeking therapy to:

Support your child’s emotional regulation or trauma recovery

Deepen connection and trust within your family

Understand behavior through the lens of attachment and loss

Process your experience as an adoptive or foster parent

—we are here to walk with you.

Why Choose With Connection?

Our practice is grounded in attachment-based, trauma-informed therapy. We focus on building and strengthening the emotional bonds between children and caregivers, offering a safe environment to work through the grief, disconnection, and behavioral challenges that can arise in adoptive and foster relationships.
