Hi World. My name is joey nesler and my experience with adoption began at birth, as I grew up in a family of adoption, and was reunited with my birth family as an adult. My training includes undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and social work with a focus and children and families. I am a licensed psychotherapist in California, USA. I began my career as a research assistant in the Veterans Administration and from there I moved onto to an educational setting working with at-risk teens. I have a private psychotherapy practice, working with individuals and families of adoption in Southern California. I have written on the emotional and developmental issues of adoption and worked in that field for 8 years.
