Life beyond adoption day is rarely just all sunshine and rainbows.
Adoption is a lifelong unfolding. Support belongs in every part of it—including the moments when life in the adoption constellation feels beyond the sun.
Beyond the Sun is an adoption-fluent private practice based in Carmel offering talk and art therapy, coaching, consultation, and creative clinical support across Indiana (telehealth available by phone and video).
People come to Beyond the Sun for different reasons, at different ages, and from different places in the adoption constellation. Explore by who support is for, the kind of care available, or the experience you are navigating.

How We Can Help Start the Conversation
Traditional Talk Therapy
Talk therapy at Beyond the Sun is for people who want conversation to lead the work without having to explain adoption to the person meant to help. Adoption, identity, grief, attachment, family roles, and neurodivergence remain in the clinical frame from the beginning.
Guided Coaching
Our coaching is not a script, curriculum, or stream of generic advice. It is a responsive, focused process shaped around the situation, relationship, and decision in front of you — with adoption, identity, and family roles in view throughout.
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, 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 – we’ve made it our mission to offer specialized support and guidance so you can move through each day with more peace and confidence.
Whole Constellation Care
Where adoption is understood, not translated.
Children's Therapy
Children are not reduced to behavior. 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 is uniquely qualified to help you through the pain of your personal experience.
Adoption Constellation

Stewards of Adoption Support Center Files
Beyond the Sun is the steward of records from the Adoption Support Center. If your adoption was completed through the Adoption Support Center, your file is kept here — protected, and openable to you with support.
