Infertility or Adoption
Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
You're tired of waiting. Everyone else seems to keep on moving, but you're stuck. With every menstrual cycle, you feel the sting of yet another month of not being pregnant. You often question if you will ever be able to have children. The tests and the procedures are taking a toll on your body and your sanity. You don't know how much more you can take. Others around you don't seem to understand that this is more than an impersonal medical procedure. Experiencing infertility and undergoing various medical interventions can create a host of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and even post-traumatic symptoms. I've taken several trainings on Infertility and Pregnancy Loss through Postpartum Support International, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Centre of Perinatal Excellence. I've also worked with individuals traveling this socially isolating journey. Please know that you are not alone. No matter the outcome, you can get through this moment. I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Treating infertility and adoption in psychotherapy necessitates a delicate balance of empathy, support, and clinical expertise. In navigating the emotional complexities of infertility, I provide a safe and validating space for individuals to explore their grief, loss, and identity struggles. Through empathetic listening and validation, I help clients process their feelings of sadness, anger, and uncertainty, while also fostering resilience and hope. Additionally, I offer practical coping strategies and support resources to help clients navigate the challenges of fertility treatments and decision-making processes.

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.
