Episode 9: Jessica Alvarez Therapy

In today's episode, we talk about forming a secure attachment with your child, and where to go for help if that doesn't come easily. Jessica Alvarez helps families in need of attachment-focused therapy and provides adoption-competent services. Jessica graduated with her Masters of Social Work, and is currently a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern at Adoption Related Services of Pinellas County. We talked with Jessica about the needs of children who have come through the foster care system or are adopted. Jessica shares why attaching to a primary caregiver is so important, and how she is able to help families repair or strengthen that bond. Also, she shares why some behaviors that look like defiance are actually a survival mechanism for children who have been through trauma. If you would like to contact Jessica or someone on her team, please call Adoption Related Services at 727-657-7761. They also offer parenting classes and a monthly support group.
