Post Adoption Counseling Services (PACS) are available to ANY family that resides in Bergen, Passaic or Essex Counties and has an adopted child under the age of 18. Services may include individual, family therapy/counseling, supportive and group services and educational meetings. Although the majority of adopted children adjust well to their adoptive status, there are a considerable number of families that face challenges that are unique to the adoption experience.

PACS specializes in the clinical concerns of adoption including: identity issues; loss and separation; curiosity about origins; and feelings about differences. Families are charged no fees for this service. Services are offered at our locations in Ridgewood and South Orange.
