Counseling Grants

At MPA, we understand that relinquishing a child for adoption can be a traumatic experience. There is significant grief and loss that comes with adoption which can last a lifetime. Counseling can help birth mothers/parents navigate this loss. You may find that you need counseling during different parts of your life -- and that's okay! The emotions and feelings surrounding adoption can be very complicated for birth mothers/parents and can change throughout a lifetime. You deserve to have someone listen to you and help you identify your own personal strengths and tools to navigate this loss.

We know it can be challenging to find a therapist and, at times, may be cost-prohibitive. MPA can help birth mothers/parents access counseling with a licensed clinician. Birth mothers/parents can request a Counseling Grant from MPA. This grant covers 10 sessions with a well-vetted therapist* who has experience in the unique needs of birth mothers/parents. 

At MPA, we know that adoption is just one part of your life story, and therapy will improve your overall wellness. Whether you placed a few months ago or several decades ago, MPA is here to help.

For Therapists

If you are a licensed therapist interested in being added to MPA's Birth Parent-Competent Therapist Referral List, please complete this brief form. We will contact you to discuss our Counseling Grant program for MPA clients. Your information will not be published. We will contact you first before making a referral.

MPA does not fulfill requests for Counseling Grants that come directly from therapists. If you have a client who is a birth mother/parent who may benefit from a Counseling Grant from MPA, they must reach out to us directly.
