Anne M. Dennis LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
While the IVF process can be an exciting hopeful time, an individual/couple want to ensure their mental health is addressed along the way. Feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict left untreated and unresolved may have long-term effects on the relationship. Working together in therapy the issues can be addressed including processing thoughts and feelings and learning positive coping skills to utilize during the IVF process.

Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We stay too silent about infertility and TTC because of the perception of shame from our family, society, ourselves. What we're "supposed to be" or how we're "supposed" to get there isn't a cookie cutter way. I offer individuals, couples, and families a safe and empowering space to explore all feels associated with infertility and TTC.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Some of the most joyous moments in life also have the potential to be the most painful. The world doesn’t seem fair when some women get pregnant just by looking at their partners, or so it would seem, while others try for months, and then begin to time their cycles, and finally start exploring other options. The infertility journey is long and confusing—full of needle pricks, doctor’s appointments and strange or inappropriate questions from friends and loved ones. And if you’re part of a queer couple, you can multiply those strange and inappropriate questions by a factor of two, or maybe three. But then it happens, you get the news: X number of healthy embryos. Yay! Except they are all boys, you really wanted a girl, but that’s okay, you just want a healthy baby. But then, your first implantation doesn’t take. So you have to try again. Success! At least at first. Miscarriages are also an all too common, intensely painful part of this process. It starts to feel like your body is betraying you. Or what if you don’t have all of the necessary parts to carry the child and you need to use a surrogate? The first one doesn’t work out, and the second one doesn’t pass psychological testing and number three, well, unfortunately after three unsuccessful tries, it’s time to look for number four. When will it end? And when will it be your turn for a healthy baby? Therapeutic support from someone who understands the process can help you feel less alone as you navigate the decisions, the ups and downs, and the journey to becoming your own self-educated endocrinologist (kidding, sort of…).

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
My work with fertility clients spans the entire journey—from initial diagnosis through treatment, potential loss, subsequent pregnancy, and postpartum adjustment. At each stage, we address the complex emotional terrain while using clinical hypnosis to support both psychological wellbeing and physiological processes. A central focus of our work involves navigating the profound identity questions that arise throughout the fertility journey. How does one integrate being "someone struggling with fertility" into one's self-concept? How does one manage the rollercoaster of hope and disappointment? Through supportive therapeutic work, clients discover resources for resilience while honoring their unique path to family formation.

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.

I help individuals manage the stressors of infertility by using an integrative approach using narrative, dynamic, relational, and attachment informed therapy. We work together to manage the feelings that can come with being in a process that can be challenging, uncertain, and open-ended. We build skills to manage uncertainty, anxieties, and isolation, and create safe containers for hope and emotional support, both in therapy and in relationships outside of therapy. I'm familiar and have lived experience with steps commonly involved in IUI, IVF and have experience supporting clients--couples and individuals--in navigating them.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
