Adoption therapy
Support for Identity, Attachment, and the Complex Emotions of Adoption
Adoption can bring love, connection, and belonging, but it can also evoke complex and deeply personal emotions for adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families at any stage of life.
Questions around identity, attachment, abandonment, loss, grief, and family dynamics may surface in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood.
At Roffina Psychotherapy, I provide compassionate, client-centered adoption therapy for individuals and families throughout New Jersey through secure virtual sessions. This is a space where your story is honored without assumptions, judgment, or oversimplification.
Adoption counseling may focus on:
- Exploring identity development and sense of belonging
- Processing feelings related to separation, loss, or ambiguous grief
- Addressing attachment challenges or relational patterns
- Navigating reunification, disclosure, or family transitions
- Supporting adoptive parents in strengthening connection and understanding
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and gently shift thought patterns that may contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship stress connected to adoption experiences.
Your experience with adoption is unique. Therapy can help you better understand your story, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater clarity and emotional well-being.
How I work with You
Every therapeutic relationship starts with understanding you, your experiences, values, and goals. This space is:
- Safe
- Inclusive
- Non-judgmental
- Collaborative
Together, you and I will explore patterns, build insight, and create skills that support long-term mental health and well-being.
