The Care You Deserve
Adoptee work is our niche. As adoptees, we know that fellow adoptees and adoptive families need specialized care to build connection.
The Adoptee Collective is a therapuetic practice offering offering trauma-informed therapy, creating connected spaces for our foster and adoption community, and providing grounded care that honors the full story for adoptees, foster individuals, and families. This is where you can find care that actually heals.

“Giving our kids a tool to help them create their life story has granted them freedom and control they didn’t necessarily have before. Helping us see how we can come alongside them to be a loving truth teller gave us the vantage point we need as adoptive/foster parents. This training was superb for any caregiver, no matter where you are in the journey!”

“Our group benefited greatly from Heather’s insights throughout this adoption education training. So thankful for the personal touches she put on this topic, as that made it more relevant to our families in the trenches. She was awesome! Best kickoff for our adoption support group! ”
