Infertility or Adoption
Monica Pitek-Fugedi
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, CCATP
Infertility can bring with it feelings of loss, brokenness, hurt, and confusion. For many, the one thing that they thought would be certain is now creating a cloud of sadness. When living with infertility, we are often faced with decisions that we never dreamed that we would have to make.
Sometimes people choose to adopt after finding that they cannot bear a child, while others feel called to adopt. With either option, the joy of parenting takes on another dimension as you may find yourself grappling with understanding your adopted child, managing a relationship with biological parents, or making the decision to adopt domestically or internationally.
I understand these feels of loss, overwhelm and sadness as I have lived with infertility and have also adopted.

Kathryn Ziemer
Psychologist, PhD
I provide support during the ups and downs of infertility, when facing painful or intrusive medical treatments, and during times of high distress, such when a treatment fails or after a miscarriage. I will help you work through feelings of stress, grief, fear, and other emotions you might be experiencing. We will also work together to help you strengthen the coping skills you already have, develop new coping skills, and more clearly communicate your needs to others.

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.
