Chandani Post Adoption Counseling

Maya Rogers-Bursen, LMHC, ATR

Welcome to CHANDANI! (Chan-Daa-Nee)

​

My name is Maya and I am a transracial, international adoptee, adopted from India when I was six months old. One of the few things I know about my "Chapter One" is that my birth mother named me Chandani. In Hindi, Chandani means "Moonlight". The moon is my place, the place I go to say hello to my birth family. It's the one thing I know we both see. Naming my practice Chandani is in honor of all the mothers in my life, and all the adoptees who have shared the moon with me.

 

Adoption trauma is rooted in loss and it's a lifelong journey.

My mission is to support adoptees and families within the adoption constellation as they navigate the complexities of their post adoption journey.

Adoptive Parent, Chandani Client

"Maya has been a tremendous support for our family through the many complexities, emotions, confusion, clarity, contradictions, and balances of adoption. Maya's role has not been to "fix" anything for our family; rather she helps shine the light for us while we dig through our own processes. Maya understands that adoption, transracial adoption especially, is an entire system experience that includes not only just the individual who was adopted, but their family (in the broadest sense of the word), their friends, and their community. Maya gives our family the tools we need to deepen our connection to one another while we navigate the ebb and flow of what adoption means at any given moment".
