adoption
It takes a village. I utilize attachment and trauma theory and their respective therapeutic modalities. I will work with the child/youth and parents individually as well as all together. If you’re just starting your adoption journey and in the process of finding an agency, going through your home study, or waiting to be matched, there’s a lot of emotions we can attend to. Adoptive families face unique challenges and I’m here to help you navigate through it.
If you are an adult adoptee seeking support, I am here for you too. Let’s talk about how adoption is impacting you as an adult. Our adoption journey is a lifelong process and we are continuously faced with how we understand ourselves in relation to the world around us.
adoption groups
I offer therapy/processing groups for youth, teen, and adult adoptees at various times throughout the year. The structure of these groups will either be a 6 hour day intensive or 6-week course. If you have a group of at least 5 adoptees that are committed to participating, please reach out and I am happy to run a personalized group! During these groups we explore topics like attachment, adoptive family dynamics, biological family dynamics/exploration, birth culture, grief/loss, relationships, identity, and adoptee culture at age-appropriate levels.
relationships
Oh boy. LOVE. INTIMACY. SEXUALITY. No matter if you follow monogamous or consensual non-monogamous relationship practices, navigating love is hard. I welcome you and your partner(s) to sit down and have a chat with me about the challenges you’re facing. We’ll initially start with individual conversations with you and then your partner(s) before sessions involve everyone.
marginalized identities
If you are a person of color (POC), LGBTQ+, undocumented, sex worker (SW), etc. YOU ARE SAFE HERE. I see you, I hear you, I feel your pain. There are countless systems that work against you. Let’s work on processing through the complex emotions you’re feeling and regain your sense of safety and belonging. I’m here for you.
anxiety/depression
educational trainings
If your organization works with people that are adopted or in foster care, Sofia Kent Therapy can provide educational trainings about attachment trauma and best practices. Topics covered are foundations of attachment, adoption and foster care competencies, and considerations for practice. Some entities with which Sofia Kent Therapy has provided educational trainings are Aurora Public Schools and Adoption Options.
