For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow. For when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything." -James 1:3-4

Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you as you care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.

On this episode host Sandra Flach talks with Jeanette Yoffe. Jeanette earned her Master’s in Clinical Psychology, specializing in adoption & foster care, from Antioch University. She treats children, teens and adults with serious psychological problems secondary to histories of abuse, neglect, adoption and/or multiple foster care placements. She has specialized for the past 20 years in treatment of children and teens who manifest serious deficits in their emotional, cognitive, and behavioral development. 

Jeanette is the Founder of Celia Center Inc, a nonprofit in LA supporting all members of the foster care and adoption constellation which includes birth parents, foster youth, adoptees, foster and adoptive parents as well as professionals working in the field. She is also the Clinical Dir. of Yoffe Therapy Inc, a mental health center in LA providing services to families, children, teens, and adults connected by foster care & adoption. 

Jeanette’s desire to become a therapist with a special focus on adoption and foster care issues derived from her own experience of being adopted and moving through the foster care system. Her personal experience has informed her education and provided insight into the unique stresses involved with these issues
