I was recently asked to post on finding a therapist. There are a bunch of on line searches you can do and places to look for Attachment Therapists/Counselors. Here are some listings for Colorado Therapy camps and local Colorado Springs area therapists and some ways to search in your area. Mostly a bunch of links. Honestly, I don't know anyone who has used most of these places, so check them out and get referrals. I am not referring, just giving the resources. PLEASE check them out for yourself first and if you know about any of them, leave a comment and let me know too. Especially if they are great or terrible ones on this list or who you know of! Would definitely want to note the great ones and delete the terrible ones. The ones listed below are a mix of Spiritual-Christian-Secular sort of options, not necessarily noted, so check them out to see if it the type you are comfortable with. _____________________________________________________________ A local counselor who I have heard a great deal of positive things about, and I know two adoptive families who have used him and think he is super great, is Mark Beal, he can be contacted at:
