Welcome Parents, Friends, and Colleagues to the My TreeHouse Post Adoption Support Blog.
Our mission at My TreeHouse is to offer a safe place for adopted children and their families to honestly share their experience of adoption, while developing friendships and community.
Our vision is to serve adopted children and their families by providing the most comprehensive post adoption resources in Texas.
Look for future articles from our leadership team! In addition to me, Dr. Barbara Rila and Suzanne Stabile will be contributing often.
Dr. Rila is a nationally recognized psychologist who has served as a therapist to foster and adoptive families for 25 years. She also provides nationwide training in adoption, attachment, and abuse issues. Dr. Rila has served on numerous boards including the Dallas Psychological Association, Texas Association of Infant Mental Health, and was the first president and founding member of the Association for Treatment and Training in the Attachment of Children.
Suzanne Stabile is an adoptee herself. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Social Science from Southern Methodist University, and has completed additional graduate studies in both Theology and Sociology. Suzanne is a recognized and sought after instructor in the Enneagram, a centuries-old method of identifying personality types that is widely respected as a valuable tool in understanding individual behavior and motivations.
Please come often to our blog for support and guidance. We welcome your comments and feedback as well.
Sincerely,
Patti Pickering
Executive Director, My TreeHouse
