Identity Unlocked: Adoption & Identity in Wonderland
MentorshipAdoptees can explore their identity, work through complex emotions, and find a sense of belonging.
60-minute Peer Support Session | $35.00 “Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” – Alice in Wonderland Adoption is a journey — sometimes beautiful, often confusing, always deeply personal. In Identity Unlocked: Adoption & Identity in Wonderland, we’ll step into the metaphorical Wonderland to explore the winding path of identity that adoptees face. Together, we’ll untangle the emotional knots, ask the “too big” questions, and reflect on what it means to belong — all in a supportive, non-judgmental space. ________________________________________ 💫 What You’ll Experience: In this 60-minute one-on-one peer support session, we’ll use imagery and reflection inspired by Alice in Wonderland to guide a heart-centered exploration of: 🔍 Who am I, really? • Untangling how adoption has shaped your identity, values, and sense of self ⚖️ Between Two Worlds • Navigating the emotional tug-of-war between biological roots and adoptive family 🌀 When Everything Feels Upside-Down • Making sense of disorientation, feeling lost, or struggling to feel "real" or whole ❤️ Family, Belonging, and Boundaries • Processing complex feelings around love, loyalty, and conflict in adoptive and biological relationships 🌱 Finding Ground in the Chaos • Embracing your truth, honoring your story, and learning to trust your path — even when it feels unpredictable 🧠 Why Peer Support? As a Certified Peer Support Specialist and an adoptee myself, I know how heavy it can feel to carry questions that have no clear answers. You don’t need fixing. You don’t need to justify your story. You just need space — and someone who gets it. ________________________________________ 🎟️ Book Your Session — $35.00 | 60 minutes of reflection, relief, and real connection Let’s go down the rabbit hole together — not to get lost, but to finally begin to feel found. 🫖 You’re not too much. You’re not alone. You’re allowed to wonder.

About The Host
I'm Courtney, a Certified Peer Support Specialist, Registered Behavior Technician, and someone who believes that our experiences can become a source of connection, understanding, and hope for others. My journey hasn't been a straight line. I'm adopted and have lived experience with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and I've experienced my own challenges with mental health, relationships, identity, and finding my place in the world. I've learned that recovery isn't about having everything figured out or being perfect. It's about learning, growing, discovering your strengths, and finding ways to move forward, even when life gets messy. My passion for peer support comes from knowing how meaningful it can be to have someone who genuinely listens without judgment, understands that everyone's journey is different, and reminds you that you're not alone. I've worked in behavioral health and peer support settings, facilitated virtual support groups, and created welcoming spaces where people can connect, share experiences, laugh, learn, and feel accepted. My approach is person-centered, compassionate, authentic, and down-to-earth. I don't believe in telling people how to live their lives or pretending to have all the answers. I believe in meeting people where they are, recognizing their strengths, celebrating the little victories, and supporting them as they discover what recovery means to them. I want people to leave a conversation feeling heard, valued, and a little less alone. My philosophy: Progress doesn't have to be perfect, and you don't have to have it all figured out to move forward.*
