A Note from Dr. Chaitra Wirta-Leiker

(SHAY-tra WUR-ta LY-ker; she/her)

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.

Whether you’re an adoptee, a member of the adoption constellation (parent, sibling, grandparent, extended family, or friend), or a professional who supports those connected to adoption, you’ve found a space created with you in mind.

You’ll find resources you can use at home, trainings and courses to deepen your understanding, and therapy and consultation services that center the lived experience of adoption. Everything I offer is grounded in my perspective as an adoptee, adoptive parent, and psychologist, and guided by the belief that healing happens through curiosity, compassion, and connection.

Take a look around, explore what feels most helpful, and know that you’re not alone in this journey — I'm right here with you.
