welcome to Yoffe Therapy
Yoffe Therapy, Inc. is a group psychotherapy practice founded in 2006 by Psychotherapist Jeanette Yoffe dedicated to helping individuals, children, and families heal from the effects of trauma, grief, loss, and attachment disruptions.
Our compassionate team specializes in adoption and foster care and we also support all families, children, and adults navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re coping with trauma, grief, loss, or relationship stress, we’re here to help you find safety, balance, and strength again.
Using trauma-informed, attachment-focused care, we guide clients toward healing that lasts—restoring trust, resilience, and hope along the way.
Because everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We offer psychological and emotional support to anyone connected by Foster Care & Adoption and beyond. We believe that therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. In our sessions, we promote mind and body transformation by utilizing our unique approach developed from years of professional practice and personal history. We encourage a positive outlook, adaptation of new attitudes, and provide original interventions and innovative coping skills.
Our guiding principle is the belief that openness and honesty is the foundation of any successful relationship.

Yoffe Therapy has devoted time to learning how children and adults adapt to the experience of foster care and adoption and have developed a range of effective therapeutic interventions available on Amazon, for children, teens, and their families. Each intervention is tailored for each child, teen, and family receiving services at Yoffe Therapy.
Jeanette Yoffe, Founder and Clinical Director of Yoffe Therapy, has specialized for the past 18 years in the treatment of children who manifest serious deficits in their emotional, cognitive, and behavioral development secondary to histories of abuse, neglect, and /or multiple placements. She and her staff dedicate their expertise, heart, and devotion to each family.
Yoffe’s desire to become a therapist with a special focus on adopted and foster care issues derived from her own experience of being adopted and moving through the foster care system.
Most recently Jeanette published and recorded a play about growing up in foster care and adoption titled "What's Your Name, Who's Your Daddy?" on Amazon and Audible The play is helpful for families, agencies, support groups, and kids (ages 13 &up) to listen, learn, and talk together about the experience HERE
We understand that therapy comes at a price, that is why Jeanette created Celia Center, a non-profit organization that offers FREE support groups and special events for healing.
