Finding therapists in Colorado with adoption experience.

COPARC Therapist Database

The Colorado Post-Adoption Resource Center (COPARC) has a database of licensed therapists in Colorado with adoption experience. The therapists on the COPARC list have registered with the Colorado Post-Adoption Resource Center, furnished copies of their licensure, disclosure statements, and professional insurance, as well as completed an application. The Colorado Post-Adoption Resource Center of The Adoption Exchange does not recommend any particular therapist. The purpose of the therapist database is to make you aware of those therapists in Colorado who state that they have special training to work with adoptive families and who have completed an application. It is still important for you as adoptive parents to check out any professional you choose.

To access the therapist database go to the Adoption Exchange website.  You can enter your preferred county, licensure, and speciality. After you click on “search,” you will be provided with a list of therapists meeting those requirements.
