Healing

Heather Hitzemann MA, ATR

Hello, Welcome! So glad you are here. I too am an adoptee and understand the complexity of being one. My mission is to bring adult adoptees together in a safe, supportive environment to process common struggles adoptees may have. Peer group support is a powerful tool in healing, especially being around others with our common bond (being an adoptee). I provide healing individual therapy sessions also. I have been working as a therapist for eighteen years. I specialize in working with adopted adults, adopted children and families formed by adoption.

Individual Sessions, Support Groups in person or online

Individual Sessions

In my sessions:

-NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) to address common adoptee challenges effectively. NARM focuses on resolving early childhood trauma and attachment disruptions, benefiting psychological and emotional well-being related to adoption.

Attachment issues: Exploring and healing attachment wounds, fostering healthier relationships and connection.

Resolving complex trauma: Processing and integrating experiences related to loss, grief, and identity to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Integrating identity and self-esteem: Supporting adoptees in exploring and integrating their adoptive and biological identities, enhancing self-esteem.

Developing healthy coping strategies: Identifying and transforming maladaptive coping mechanisms into healthier ones for emotional resilience.

Enhancing self-compassion and self-regulation: Building self-compassion, self-acceptance, and self-regulation skills to navigate emotions effectively and strengthen self.

-Cognitive Behavior Therapy

-Art Therapy

Support Groups

Weekly online groups providing coping skills, resources and support. Spaces will be limited to four adoptees per session. A smaller group provides more time for each adoptee to be heard which is beneficial in the healing process.

AA meetings for adoptees
