Caring For You and Your Adoptive Child
Parenthood is a challenging experience as is, but sometimes non-biological families have their own unique mental health struggles to account for. At Crescent Moon Therapy, our goal is to help you guide yourself and your family through adoption’s special challenges.
Discover Mental Wellness
For any stage of the reproductive process or beyond, we’re here to help you get connected with the therapy you need.
How Therapy for Adoption Can Help You
Each family’s experience with adoption is one of a kind. We take the time to provide a space for exploring your individualized concerns.
Feeling Seen
It is common for adoptive parents to feel othered, but our team is here to show you that your family is worthy of love and happiness just like any other.
Communicating with Your Child
Talking about adoption can be hard for you and your little one. We can teach you emotionally-conscious methods of starting these difficult discussions.
Protecting Your Wellness
Adoption is often a long, long process, and that can weigh you down with perinatal anxiety. Luckily, adoption competent therapy in Park Ridge offers solutions to these stressors.
Our Therapists
For a compassionate team in Park Ridge that specializes in reproductive mental health, look no further than Crescent Moon Therapy.
Yes! We understand that raising an adoptive child on your own is a big commitment, and that taking on this kind of parenthood on your own can cause compounding stress. Crescent Moon’s team is here to empower you with the support you need.
Absolutely. We advocate for partners taking an active part in receiving the mental health support they need to be there for their families. Additionally, we understand that choosing to adopt is just as much the paternal figure’s decision as it is the mother’s. In cases where adoption is considered only after you have attempted natural conception, men who have been diagnosed with impotence can feel shame, guilt, and more. Our goal is to provide encouragement and care so you and your partner can heal together, no matter what.
Our focus at Crescent Moon Therapy is primarily on telehealth, so we do not typically have face-to-face appointments. By eliminating the need for travel, our clients can receive the same experienced, compassionate care as an in-person session without disrupting their day.
We may be able to arrange in-person sessions with you from time to time, but that depends on the needs your adoption competent therapy in Park Ridge will address and our team’s availability. Our intake coordinator can discuss this as a possible option for you during your consultation.
What Therapy Looks Like
For each client seeking adoption competent therapy in Park Ridge, we strive to make you feel seen, heard, and held. Adopting a child is a long journey, one filled with many emotions surrounding non-biological parenthood, forging new bonds, and the stressors that every parent faces. We are ready to talk with you about the family you want to build and how therapeutic strategies can help you regulate the feelings and thoughts associated with that effort.
Your consultation will involve a thorough examination of your personal and familial history with different mental conditions, as well as an assessment of your current symptoms. This will allow us to carefully select both the right therapist and the most appropriate therapy approach to effectively address your concerns. After gathering those details, we can proceed with scheduling your telehealth appointments and starting you on your path to wellness.

Therapy for Adopted Clients
Outside of raising your own adoptive family, we know that certain women walking through our doors are adopted children, themselves. Adoption-competent therapy is crucial in ensuring that you have the space you need to talk about your own experience with the adoption system.
Some clients have expressed anger toward their biological parents or experience fears of abandonment as a result of their placement in the system. This can impact how you feel about raising your own family, which is why we offer ways to explore these emotions. Your future family deserves to feel as loved and cherished as you are by your own adoptive parents.
If you are ready to begin your first steps toward perinatal mental health, book an appointment with us today.
