WE WANT YOU TO KNOW

CHILDHOOD SHOULDN'T HURT

Your experience is real, and we're ready to listen

If you're here reading this you may already know that, when childhood hurts, it can leave a mark that follows you through life. Maybe you're an adult or teen who's been carrying the weight of trauma or emotional pain, trying to navigate a world that doesn't always understand how deep those wounds go. You might feel out of place, like no one around you gets why life can feel so heavy for you. Or maybe you're a parent, watching your child struggle, feeling helpless and heartbroken because the childhood you've imagined for them isn't the reality that they're living. We know it's exhausting to wonder if things will ever get better.

Here's what we know: there's nothing wrong with you. Parents, there's nothing wrong with your child. Trauma, life, and other life challenges might have written some chapters of this story thus far, but they don't get to write the whole book. 

We believe that childhood shouldn't hurt - but when it does, it's never too late to reclaim your story. Whether you are looking for healing for yourself or you're someone looking for support for a child, we have your back. We are not here to judge you or tell you how to feel. We're here to listen, understand, and help you build a relationship with yourself and others that feels lighter, freer, and more in control. We know the pain of trauma and other difficult childhood experiences, but we also claim the power of growth, resilience, and finding peace within yourself.

Reclaiming our Stories

Our center was founded in 2022 by two clinical social workers who were adopted from foster care as small children. With a shared commitment to helping others, they've harnessed their personal experiences with adoption and trauma to impact the lives of adoptees and their families, and other folks navigating complex emotional landscapes. As influential voices in the adoption community, their work has extended beyond therapy sessions to national platforms to uplift adoptee narratives. Together, Amanda and Stephanie have built a center that combines deep compassion, understanding, and a commitment to evidence-based care.

Ya pensamos el mundo de ti.

La vida no es fácil. Todos hemos tenido a alguien que nos recuerda eso durante un tiempo de lucha. Lo que olvidaron decirte es que tener experiencias difíciles en la vida no significa que estés condenado a luchar o sufrir por ellas. Para eso estamos aquí.
