Infertility or Adoption
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.

Linda Miller-deBerard
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Infertility can be devastating, physically, emotionally and relationally. Having worked in medical settings I'm very familiar with the toll it can take on families. If you're struggling with infertility it is imperative that you find a professional to help you talk through the rollercoaster of emotions you're experiencing and that you keep your relationships as healthy as possible. Infertility issues can end your marriage but with counseling you can deepen your relationship and get through the rollercoaster.

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.

Kristin Wright
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Infertility, adoption, infant loss, and miscarriages can be such a tough, devastating, and traumatic journey. It can feel lonely, and the confusing rollercoaster of emotions can be difficult to manage. And although others can offer support and sympathy, they truly don't understand what it's like to be in your shoes. With my many years of treating trauma and grief, as well as my own personal experiences with these issues, I can give you a compassionate ear and help you process this difficult experience.
