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.

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.

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.

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.
