“When you’ve spent year after year in therapy, tried every medication, missed sleep night after night with worry, and don’t know where else to turn…call us!”

Based in Oklahoma, the Post Institute for Family-Centered Therapy has been able to reach families world-wide with the family-centered therapeutic approach.

If your adopted child has been diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or Depression, the family-centered regulatory approach will help you start the healing process.

Adoption and it’s impact on children is greatly misunderstood by mainstream society. The truth is that adopted children at all levels have experienced some degree of trauma. The initial break from the biological mother is a traumatic event. In most instances, this disruption is never addressed sufficiently much less mended. As the years pass and the adoptive family and child continue struggling day in and day out, vital windows for brain access and change are being missed. If you think that you are missing out on these critical phases for helping your child to live a healthy and happy life then call or e-mail us today: (866) 848-POST or postinstitute@msn.com

How do you know if you are missing out on such critical phases? If you have explored numerous therapeutic options and your child has been placed on psychiatric medication (or numerous), and nothing still seems to make sense to you…then you know you are missing out.

Our belief is that every family has the innate ability to create their own healing dynamic.

The Post Institute works to empower families through education, insight, awareness, and understanding. This process allows families to go back to their lives, viewing everyday dynamics with a new lens.

Furthermore, we do not believe that a child can be treated effectively outside of the family context. The parent system is the foundation of the family. The parent system must first be secured before a firm foundation can be established for the child to continue the growth process.

The Post Institute for Family-Centered Therapy offers your family six options for working directly with Dr. Bryan Post and his treatment team.

  1. In-home Intensive Therapy Program for families with children age 3 to 12: A combined six-month program beginning with an initial three days of very intense family-oriented work. This enables the family to create a new foundation for the healing process. Following the three-day intensive session, Dr. Post begins engaging the family each week with  rigorous telephone coaching sessions that enable them to continue following the prescribed preventative environment given at the end of the three days. Dependent of the progress of the family, it is sometimes recommended that a follow-up visit occur after three months. During the six-month program Dr. Post advocates for the family in any and all areas where they may struggle. Such areas may include school meetings, IEP’s, court appointments, employment difficulties, and many others.

    Appointments for in-home intensive work with Dr. Post are limited and often times must be scheduled three months ahead of time. To request an initial evaluation and fee schedule call or e-mail: (866) 848-POST or postinstitute@msn.com
  1. Intensive Attachment Therapy Program conducted at the Post Institute for Families with children age 3 to 12:

Many families and couples have chosen to come to Dr. Post to do their work. In this regard the family or couple flies into Oklahoma and is picked up by Dr. Post or one of his staff and transported to Mountain View. Some families prefer to rent a car, but this is not necessary in most instances. Mountain View is a small town located 11/2 hours southwest of Oklahoma City. The small quiet town offers families an opportunity to engage emotionally while being able to restore and relax within the calm vibrations of the setting. All room and board arrangements are made through the Post Institute. To request an initial evaluation and fee schedule call or e-mail: (866) 848-POST or postinstitute@msn.com

  1. Intensive Attachment Therapy Program conducted at the Post Institute for Families with Adolescents:

The adolescent program is a multi-phase program that takes place over a 9-month period. Due to the intensity of most cases with adolescents present it is highly challenging to work with a family in a standard 6-month fashion. The initial phase of the program begins with two-days of intensive work focused solely on the parent system. In this manner, the parents come to Oklahoma alone, or Dr. Post is brought into their home. Following 3 months after the initial phase, then the second phase begins with intensive work involving the entire family generally lasting from two to three days. In some instances three-months after the second phase a family may be required to undergo a two-day follow up session either in-home or at the institute. Coaching last the duration of nine months. To request an initial evaluation and fee schedule call or e-mail: (866) 848-POST or postinstitute@msn.com

  1. Intensive Couples Therapy Program conducted in Mountain View, OK:

In some instances couples realize the need to focus solely on their own issues separate from their children or other family circumstances. In this manner, Mountain View is the ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle or noisy city distractions to focus solely on the relationship. Couples fly into Oklahoma and are picked up by a limousine and transported to Mountain View to work with Dr. Post. The couples program takes on the same dynamics as the other programs in that the intensive phase generally last three days and the coaching continues for six months afterward. In some cases, the intensive phase may only proceed for two days, but the couple is still encouraged to stay an additional day for relaxation and absorbing the impact of the highly emotional work that has taken place. Mountain View is a small town located 11/2 hours southwest of Oklahoma City. The small quiet town offers families an opportunity to engage emotionally while being able to restore and relax within the calm vibrations of the setting. All room and board arrangements are made through the Post Institute.  To request an initial evaluation and fee schedule call or e-mail: (866) 848-POST or postinstitute@msn.com
