Dr. Catherine Ferreira-Babor, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Facing infertility is devastating. There are so many fears and potential losses. And turning to adoption can also be frightening, confusing, and exhausting. But, being an adoptive mom myself, I can help with this experience.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Fertility journeys can be quite frustrating, especially as it gets extended and you are not finding success regardless of the path you take. There can be feelings of inadequacy and disappointment that your body is not responding as you would like. After failed attempts at IVF you might find yourself experiencing loss and grieving for the pregnancy that isn't happening. Women and couples often keep their experience to themselves putting on a brave face each day as their journey lingers on. I have worked with women using hypnotherapy to work through this grief and loss, and explore if past trauma or limiting beliefs in their subconscious is affecting their ability to conceive.

Infertility may create a complicated pattern of grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma for couples. Therapy provides an avenue to find meaning-based coping strategies as well as to find ways to support and communicate your needs with your partner.

Dr. Jadah Petty
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
For many adoptees, they have not had the opportunity to explore their adoptive identity and understand how their adoption has shaped the ways they see themselves and others. Understanding the myths around adoption and exploring it means to be adopted is something I can offer in therapy.

Infertility can be agonizing. A support person not involved in your relationship can be very helpful as a sounding board to process the pain and the decision to keep going or adopt.
