How We Can Help Start the Conversation
Traditional Talk Therapy
Looking for a traditional therapeutic experience with the knowledge to best support your unique journey? Our team of clinicians is trauma-informed and competent in adoption and beyond, giving them the best tools to serve you through traditional talk therapy.
Guided Coaching
Is your adoptee seeking answers? Do you find yourself searching for guidance as a parent in order to help your family system thrive? Our coaching solutions are specialized in adoptive families and relationships, as well as generalized parent support, here to help you navigate uncharted waters with more confidence and peace.
WHAT WE UNDERSTAND:
Adoption is a lifelong unfolding.
In fact, there’s a whole other side to this process that can be filled with unspeakable grief, loss, and pain that can feel impossible to explain.
Beyond the Sun has 73+ years of combined lived experience in adoption, infertility, blended families, and grief and loss, we deeply understand the weight of your unique experience. And with 40+ of those years within the complexly layered space of reunion & re/connection across generations within the constellation – and we’ve made it our mission to offer specialized support and guidance so you can move through each day with more peace and confidence.
Beyond The Sun Therapy offers adoption-fluent, infertility-informed care for the grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and family-building complexity that continue beyond diagnosis, placement, contact, loss, and life transition.
We are here to support you with:
- Infertility Care
Infertility & Assisted Reproduction
Donor conception, surrogacy, and assisted reproductive technology — including the grief, waiting, and decision fatigue that can come with every stage of trying.
- The Constellation
Adoption & the Constellation
Adoptee matters across the lifespan, root-connection support, navigation and communication across the constellation, reunion, records and file discovery, and story integration.
- Grief Support
Grief & Loss
Grief in every form it takes — miscarriage, the loss of a child, and the losses others may not see or know how to name.
- Children & Family
Attachment, Family & Connection
Attachment, communication, and expression; family building in its many forms — foster, kinship, and blended; and neurodivergent life navigation in family and partnership.
- How We Work
Life Transitions & Burnout
Burnout care for stress, fatigue, and self-care; life transition phases; and post-medical events — diagnoses and procedures that change life, the body, and daily functioning.
Not sure which of these fits? You don't have to know before you reach out — start with a conversation.
Children's Therapy
As a parent, you are only as happy as your saddest kid. If your child is struggling, you’re in the right place. Our therapists have specialized training and experience working with children of all ages.
Grief & Loss
No matter the specific source of grief or loss in your life, our team of therapists are uniquely qualified to help you through the pain of your personal experience.
Adoption Constellation
Whether you’re an adoptee, adoptive parent, birth parent, or otherwise touched by adoption, our team is here to support you through specialized expertise you won’t find anywhere else.
Infertility
There’s a unique element of pain and grief when building your family does not go as planned. At Beyond the Sun, we are well-versed in infertility, miscarriage, and when things go wrong — not to mention the overwhelming pressure from social media and how to handle yourself when everyone’s asking questions.
