Find Your Adoption Competent Therapist Here

Every family’s journey with adoption and/or guardianship is unique, having the right support can make all the difference. Adoption-competent therapists are caring mental health professionals who have completed specialized training to better understand the unique experiences of adopted children, youth, and their families. Through adoption competency training, therapists learn how to address important issues such as identity, attachment, grief and loss, and family dynamics with compassion and sensitivity. Their expertise helps ensure that every family member feels seen, supported, and empowered to build stronger, healthier connections. 

The Heart Galleries of Texas (HGTX), in partnership with the National Center for Adoption Competent Mental Health Services, has launched an initiative to expand access to quality adoption competent care. Through this program, we have recruited and trained a cohort of dedicated therapists from across the state who are ready to walk alongside families like yours. With their specialized knowledge and guidance, you can feel confident that your family is supported by professionals who truly understand adoption and are committed to helping your relationships thrive.
