We are always pleased to share the successes of our previous clients. We do so to help others understand there is hope — and that we at Evergreen Psychotherapy Center stand ready to help.
This is what one parent, whose family underwent intensive therapy here at Evergreen Psychotherapy Center, reported four years later:
“We are all doing well. The boys are in the 4th grade now and they are both doing well in school. The only calls we have had from the school this year have been about minor playground injuries, not about bad behavior. Ron and I go to lunch regularly and are swapping childcare with friends, something we couldn’t do before. We have become much closer as a family. We hope everyone back in Evergreen is doing well. It still amazes me when I think back and realize how far we have come. Thank you for all you have done for us.”
I wish this story contained more context. I can infer that the two boys may have been adopted from foster care, a foreign orphanage, or a malfunctioning relative, that the family went through intensive attachment therapy to good effect, but I would have liked the back story to have been more fully developed. More details, please.
Yes. These boys were adopted from a foreign orphanage, and experienced abuse and neglect. The parents learned new parenting concepts and skills, based on our book, “Healing Parents.” The children received attachment and trauma-informed therapy, as described in our book, “Attachment, Trauma and Healing.”
