Initial Consultation

“She “got” me from the first time we met.” R.D., Adult Adoptee

An initial consultation is a helpful way to begin working with the IAC Center. In a typical consult you will meet for one hour with a counselor to help you clarify your concerns and set up a plan to address your needs. In addition, referrals to related sources may be made.

People benefiting from this type of consultation include:

  • Infertility patients or couples.
  • Couples or individuals considering their family-building options
  • Adoptive parents
  • Birth parents
  • Adopted individuals
  • Other individuals who would appreciate a therapist sensitive to these issues.

Once a consultation is complete, both the counselor and the client will determine the appropriate next step.
