As a person who was adopted and has experienced a search/reunion with birth family, Joey Nesler's specialization is in the treatment of issues arising from the adoption experience and she has had the honor of working with adoptees (children and adults), adoptive and birth families, for several years.

"People—of all ages—who are touched by adoption and infertility often experience painful loss and grief. It may be so painful that facing that alone is overwhelming. But, that pain doesn’t simply go away; it will crop up in many areas of life. This can impact parenting and/or partner relationships. It can lead to depression, anxiety, self-destructive behaviors, and attachment problems. Adoption and infertility issues arise in all types of families; even loving, stable families."
