Far before officially coming to fruition, Beyond the Sun Therapy was born as an idea in 2018.

Hi there, I’m Amanda, founder and owner behind Beyond the Sun Therapy.

Not just any therapist can understand the depth of grief and loss in infertility, building a family through adoption, and that feeling of losing all connection to your genetic people because you were adopted. It takes a neutral party or a therapist that has done a lot of personal work around their own story and can appreciate and respect a story that does not mirror theirs.

Motivated by my own journey of healing through infertility and being an embryo donor alongside my career in adoption, I wanted a safe place where the grief and loss in infertility and adoption were the specialties of our therapeutic practice, rather than yet another listed topic.

Beyond the Sun Therapy understands that not all families are created equally, and our team warmly welcomes all individuals and families seeking specialized support in adoption-related issues, infertility, assisted reproductive technologies, and those in need of guidance through grief and loss.

Client Experiences

“A safe place to share”

“Alli has provided a space where I feel understood and heard . . . a safe place to share. I don’t feel like she is trying to fix me or my family, but rather Alli has normalized the challenges I am facing as part of the adoption experience and shown me a path to walk through them.”

“I have never heard my daughter laugh with such pure joy . . .”

“We LOVE working with Katy. I have never heard my daughter laugh with such pure joy as when they are working together. Her confidence soars and it helps her general well-being so much. We feel like she genuinely cares about my daughter and wants to find ways to support her emotional growth.”

“Allison has been the key factor in my emotional growth”

“Life after placement is a really hard thing to navigate on your own. After going through such a heartrending thing, you need someone who can support you and help you process emotions and feelings you’ve never felt before. Allison has been the key factor in my emotional growth and without her I don’t think I would have been the strong person I am today. She makes it a point to prioritize me and other birth moms.”

“Alli has such a gentle spirit and can make a hard situation seem simple/possible”

“My only wish is that I could have worked with someone with her skillset and kindness sooner.”

“Growing up as an adoptee, I have seen multiple therapists in the past. It wasn’t until I worked with Allison as a birth mom that I realized how important working with an adoption-competent therapist would be. My sessions with Allison have helped me immensely with my healing as an adoptee and birth mom. Allison is always so respectful, understanding, and patient. My only wish is that I could have worked with someone with her skillset and kindness sooner.”
