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.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
As an adoptive parent who went through infertility treatment many years ago, I’m particularly attuned to how this puts pressure on a couple. It can also be quite overwhelming and can cause people to feel like they are on a roller-coaster ride. Often couples need to come in for support together. Or one partner needs extra support.

Infertility or Adoption
Washington Psychological Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
Being a parent and having a child is a dream often taken for granted. Very few individuals plan for the numerous fertility difficulties that may interfere with one's path toward parenthood. Not only can infertility devastate one's dreams of giving birth, scientific studies indicate that the emotional and physical toll associated with infertility and its medical treatments are comparable with other serious medical conditions. Adoption is a beautiful alternative to childbirth and a viable path to parenthood. In fact, decisions to enter parenthood through adoption are often unmotivated by infertility. However, with the joy and excitement of adoption comes substantial lifestyle alterations, changes, and demands. At Washington Psychological Wellness, we aim to help you through this process. Whether you plan to conceive, are trying to conceive, going through IVF or a surrogate, have plans for adoption, or are just curious, we can help. Our clinicians provide an integrative and holistic mind-body approach to treatment focused on implementing self-efficacy, mastery, calmness, and inner peace. We will work with you to explore your many options and empower you to have the tools and skills necessary to prepare for whatever next steps you will be faced. We are currently accepting new clients. Telehealth (online) therapy options are available. Call now to schedule your appointment!

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
According to the National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC) approximately 6.1 million couples in the United States, or 10 percent of all couples of childbearing age, have difficulty conceiving. However, it still remains a topic that couples do not speak about easily. Therefore there is often an illusion that they are alone or ‘defective’ which is not true.
The course of infertility treatment can be highly variable. Some couples conceive immediately while others can take 1-2 years to achieve their goal. Research has shown that fertility increases when a woman’s stress decreases. Therefore, while going through tests and medical procedures, it is important to have outlets to express emotion and build concrete strategnies to cope with changes and challenges.
With infertility treatment there is also an increased chance of multiple births. While this doubles and triples the blessing it also increases the amount of planning and stress. The approach of ‘one-on-one’ parenting, that most of us experienced, is different to the parenting approach (called ‘zone defense’ by some parents) needed with multiples.
The choice to adopt comes about for many different reasons and can be expressed in a multitude of ways. Sometimes it is done formally through adoption agencies and the courts, and sometimes it is done between family members, legally or informally. Adoption crosses over many ethnic, cultural, religious, and socio-economic barriers. Adoption can happen at various ages for the parent and the child. Some families have both adoptive and biological children. Sometimes step-parents adopt their spouse’s children from a previous relationship. Adoptive siblings can be biologically related to each other or from different corners of the world.
